The Uttar Pradesh government is planning to inaugurate 14 new medical colleges. The Medical Education Department has formally requested approval from the National Medical Commission (NMC), which regulates medical education nationwide, to carry out campus inspections. If granted, this could add approximately 1,400 MBBS seats to the current 8,000 seats in the state.

These new medical colleges are set to be established in various districts of Uttar Pradesh, including Kushinagar, Kaushambi, Sultanpur, Amethi, Kanpur Dehat, Lalitpur, Pilibhit, Oraiya, Sonbhadra, Bulandshahr, Gonda, Bijnor, Chandauli, and Lakhimpur Kheri.

Currently, the state has 3,828 MBBS seats in government colleges and 4,700 seats in private colleges. Last year, Uttar Pradesh launched nine new colleges.
