Dr Rokade said, "The team is in the city to inspect the facilities and rectification of deficiencies pointed out last time". In previous inspection, the MCI team had raised objection on library space problem and MoU copy of CT-MRI facility at the hospital. "We have sent proposal to state government for establishing central library. Once the proposal is approved, we will rectify the deficiency," said MGMMC public relation officer, Dr Rahul Rokade.

According to MCI norms, college need to have its own CT-MRI machine but the college administration had partnered with private party for the facility and they didn't allow the students to use the machines.

This partnership had been objected by a section of faculty as they believe hands-on experience is necessary.
