The Agartala Government Medical College (AGMC) has increased its annual MBBS intake to 250, introducing 100 additional seats.
The Agartala Government Medical College (AGMC) announced that its MBBS intake for the upcoming academic year will rise to 250 students, an increase of 100 seats over the previous quota. The expansion reflects the institution’s effort to accommodate growing demand for medical education in the northeastern region.
Officials indicated that the additional seats have been approved by the relevant regulatory bodies, ensuring that the college meets the required infrastructure and faculty standards. The move is expected to enable more aspirants from Tripura and neighboring states to pursue a medical degree without relocating far from home.
Education experts suggest that the higher intake could help address the chronic shortage of doctors in the state’s rural areas, provided that graduates are encouraged to serve in underserved communities after completing their training.
