The Directorate of Medical Education and Research, DMER is on its way to give Mumbai a new state-run medical college. As of now, Grant Medical College is the last such medical college which was started in 1845, more than 150 years ago. Other reputed medical colleges which admit students strictly on basis of merit(in MHT-CET) such as Seth G. S. M.C. (K. E. M. , Parel), T. N. M. C (Nair, Byculla) and L. T. M. C. (Sion) are run by the municipal corporation.
Dr. W. B. Tayade, the director of DMER and his team is trying hard and are hopeful that the first-year classes will commence the next year.
