The Tomo Riba Institute of Health & Medical Sciences (TRIHMS) in Arunachal Pradesh will increase MBBS seats from 50 to 100 for the 2024-2025 academic year.

The Tomo Riba Institute of Health & Medical Sciences (TRIHMS) in Arunachal Pradesh has been granted approval to increase its MBBS seats from 50 to 100 for the 2024-2025 academic year, officials announced on Thursday.

The approval follows an application submitted under the National Medical Commission (NMC) Act, 2019. This move is expected to enhance medical education capacity in the region, according to officials.

The official letter of approval, issued by Jitulal Ramprasad Meena, a member of the Medical Assessment and Rating Board (MARB) of the NMC, states that the permission for increased seats will remain valid until the first batch of students under the new capacity appears for their final exam. Post this, the institute will need to seek further recognition under section 35(2) of the NMC Act, 2019.

TRIHMS is required to adhere to all necessary norms, including infrastructure, human resources, teaching faculty, and clinical material, throughout the academic year as per NMC regulations. The institute must also contribute 15 per cent of MBBS seats and 50 per cent of postgraduate broad specialities (MD/MS) seats to the all India quota, officials noted.
