In a written reply to the question asked on doctor-patient ratio in Rajya Sabha, Union Minister of State for Health and Family Welfare Ashwini Kumar Choubey, also detailed about the addition of NEET PG and NEET UG medical seats in government medical colleges brought about in the past few years.
“To increase the availability of faculty and specialist doctors in the country, one time increase in PG seats was permitted this year after the revision of teacher student ratio. In all, over 5800 PG seats have been added this year,” the minister said. He further stated that the government’s emphasis is on increasing doctor-population ratio in the country and to bring it at par with WHO standards.
Doctor-Population Ratio implies the number of doctors available for every 1000 people. As per the ministry, at present, there are a total of about 10.4 lakhs registered doctors in India and around 8.33 lakhs are actively available for service (assuming 80% availability). It is government’s aim to increase current doctor-population ratio from 0.63:1000 to 1:1000, which is also a WHO prescribed norm, Choubey said.
Government is implementing a Centrally Sponsored Scheme which seeks to establish new medical colleges in 58 under-served districts of India. The reply mentioned that in the last three years 13,004 new MBBS seats have been added and at present, there is an intake capacity of a total of 67,352 MBBS students across 479 medical colleges in India.
The minister told that the efforts to increase UG and PG medical seats are taken in a systemic manner and are being supplemented by ensuring Minimum Standard Requirements (MSRs) which includes taking care of land requirements, faculty, staff, bed/bed strength and other infrastructure pertinent for setting up of new medical colleges.

can I apply for same college in aiq and state counselling in neet pg
Hello there,
Hope you are doing well,
As per the state counselling 50% seats are reserved for state quota in all the colleges. To apply under state quota you need to have a domicile for that particular state. If you have the domicile certificate then you are eligible for the 50% reserved seats. However you can apply for same college under AIQ as well as under state quota but I would recommend you to apply under state quota for the colleges that are in your state and apply for other colleges under AIQ (all india quota). This would make more sense and might help you to get admission easily.
You can read about the NEET domicile eligibility criteria from the article below,

My Son completed MBBS from BMCH Chitradurga affiliated by Rajiv Gandhi University Bangalore. he will appear in NEET PG to be held in March 2023. His interest in Respiratory Medicine ,if he fails to get required marks how much I need to pay for a good college in Bangalore.
Hello there,
Hope you are doing well,
For PG in respiratory medicine candidates needs to apply for 'MD in Pulmonology and respiratory medicine'. There are numerous colleges in india that offers this courses. However you have mentioned that candidate has already complicated UG from Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences so here are some colleges for MD in Pulmonology and Respiratory Medicine in Karnataka, you can check them out :
Kasturba Medical College, Manipal
MS Ramaiah Medical College, Bangalore
Vydehi Institute of Medical Science and Research Centre, Bangalore
JNMC, Belgaum
Raja Rajeshwari Medical College and Hospital, Banglore
To know more about these colleges read the article below,
For fees structure, if the candidate gets a seat in government college under government quota then fees would be around 7 lakhs to 8 lakhs per year. If candidate gets a seat in private college under government quota then the fees might be around 15-25 lakhs and for management quota seats fees can go above 35 lakhs as well.
However, I would like to tell you that the candidate is yet to appear for the exam and with an optimistic mindset you should help him prepare for good score in NEET PG.
