Published by Dibyajyoti | January 10, 2026

The Odisha government has outlined a major expansion plan to enhance postgraduate (PG) medical education by adding502 new PG seatsacross government medical colleges within the next two years. Officials confirmed that groundwork for the expansion has begun, and the Directorate of Medical Education and Training (DMET) has issued directives to 12 government-run medical colleges—including Talcher, Phulbani, Keonjhar, Bolangir, Baripada, Bhubaneswar, Cuttack, Jajpur, Koraput, Kalahandi, Berhampur, and Sundargarh—to start preparing necessary infrastructure.

DMET Prof. Dr. S.K. Misra has instructed the colleges to submit detailed proposals covering infrastructure requirements, staffing needs, and financial implications to support the increase in PG seats. The Health Department will soon submit an application to the National Medical Commission (NMC) for formal approval.

Officials say the initiative will significantly boost Odisha's healthcare capacity by producing more specialized doctors and improving access to advanced medical training for students. The move also aims to address existing shortages of specialists in government hospitals.

DMET noted that the process is “most urgent” due to upcoming deadlines on the NMC application portal, urging colleges to act promptly on infrastructure upgrades and course expansion proposals.
