For the year 2024-25, the Telangana state government has requested permission for 8 government medical colleges and 3 private colleges in the state. Out of 8 govt colleges, the National Medical Commission has granted permission for four colleges in Mulugu, Narsampet, Gadwal, and Narayanpet. Each college got permission to start with 50 MBBS seats.

The National Medical Commission has already sent the permission officially to the state. However, the State government wants NMC to reconsider the permission for Yadadri Bhuvanagiri, Maheswaram, kutballapur, and Medak govt medical colleges as the staff has been accommodated for the vacant posts. NMC will look into it in one more review meeting, which will be held at the end of the month.
