He added that after the increase, the number of seats in 11 government-run medical colleges has gone up to 1,250. ``After we submitted the proposal for increasing the number of seats, a high-level team of the Medical Council of India (MCI) inspected the two colleges. But, it rejected the proposal saying the facilities were not upto the mark. Then, we recruited additional staff leading MCI to accept our proposal,'' he added.
