Stanley Among 3 Medical Colleges Likely To Lose Recognition In TN

The violations include deficiencies in Aadhaar-based biometric attendance and poor functioning of installed cameras. 

Three Medical colleges in Tamil Nadu and one medical college in Puducherry are likely to lose their right to admit students for violating certain norms by Undergraduate Medical Education Board (UGMEB). However, these colleges could reportedly appeal before National Medical Commission to penalise them for the violation of the norms.

Tamil Nadu medical colleges that are likely to lose accreditation include Government Stanley Medical College Hospital in Chennai, KAP Viswanathan Government Medical College in Trichy and Government Dharmapuri Medical College and Hospital. In Puducherry, Indira Gandhi Medical College and Research may lose the right to admit students.

The violations include deficiencies in Aadhaar-based biometric attendance and poor functioning of installed cameras. 

Talking to Times of India, Dr Shanti Malar, Tamil Nadu Director of Medical Education said that they will ensure that admission of fresh students to our colleges would not be stalled and the colleges have biometric attendance.

Shanti Malar said that they have attendance and leave letters on record. The board records the faculty absence on the machines. They also said that the cameras in some colleges have become dysfunctional due to weather condition.

In Puducherry, the assessment was carried out in April and January when discrepancies were reportedly found out by assessors. They found out that Aadhaar-enabled biometric attendance system, hospital management information system (HMIS) data and CCTV footage were found discrepancies. 

In 2020, Susheela Tiwari Medical College in Haldwani might have lost accreditation for general surgery residency program due to several objections raised by Medical Council of India (MCI). At that time, Susheela Tiwari Medical College was the only government medical college in the state that runs PG courses in surgery.
