Besides, the internship fee charged from the students from outside Gujarat has been increased from Rs 5,000 a month to Rs 8,000.
There are 180 degree seats and eight diploma seats at present, Vora said.
He said there has been a rise in the stipend to doctors by 40 per cent. Accordingly, the stipend for first-year students will go up from Rs 20,000 to Rs 28,000, for the second-year it will be increased from Rs 21,000 to Rs 29,400 and for the third-year, it will be Rs 30,800 as against the present Rs 22,000.
