RAS question
What is the annual MBBS intake in government medical colleges in Rajasthan?
Correct answer: (B) 4,330.
Rajasthan's government medical colleges have an annual undergraduate MBBS intake capacity of 4,330 seats.
Explanation
The Rajasthan Economic Review 2025-26 gives the MBBS intake figure separately for government and private medical colleges. For government medical colleges, it states that the annual intake capacity for the undergraduate MBBS course is 4,330 seats. The same section separately lists 2,050 seats as the annual MBBS intake in private medical colleges, so that number should not be read as the government figure. It also notes 6,505 undergraduate medical students enrolled in 2024-25, which is an enrolment count across UG medical colleges, not the annual government MBBS intake capacity asked in the question.
Why the other options are wrong
- (A) 3,500 is not the figure given in the Rajasthan Economic Review; the government MBBS intake capacity is listed as 4,330 seats.
- (C) 6,505 refers to undergraduate medical students enrolled in academic year 2024-25, not the annual MBBS intake capacity in government medical colleges.
- (D) 2,050 is the annual undergraduate MBBS intake capacity for private medical colleges, not government medical colleges.
Concept
This tests Rajasthan Economy coverage of social-sector infrastructure, especially medical education capacity. Such figures recur in RAS because they connect budget review data with public health and human-resource planning.
