NMC approves thousands of additional PG medical seats, including Odisha increases

The National Medical Commission (NMC) approves additional postgraduate (PG) medical seats, with increases reported both nationally and for the state of Odisha. India Today reports NMC approval for 318 more PG medical seats in Odisha, raising the state total to 938.

Times of India frames the development as a much larger national expansion, reporting that the NMC adds 9,783 PG medical seats in total and takes the overall figure to 68,305. Together, the coverage indicates that NMC is increasing PG capacity and that Odisha is one of the regions benefiting from these changes. The main difference across outlets is scope and emphasis: one focuses on Odisha’s state-level total, while the other highlights the nationwide aggregate and the revised national total.
