Q155
Current Affairs & General KnowledgeWest Bengal Affairs
How many new Government Medical Colleges have become functional in West Bengal during the last ten years?
  1. a.8
  2. b.6
  3. c.5
  4. d.3

Answer: (A) 8

Answer as of 2021 — this may have changed since.

PSC's final key gives 8. The figure is usually reconciled with the state-run medical colleges that started between 2011 and 2021: Sagar Dutta (Kamarhati), Malda, Murshidabad (Berhampore), Cooch Behar, Raiganj, Rampurhat, Diamond Harbour and Purulia. The count depends on exactly which institutions and which ten-year window are taken, and more colleges (e.g., Barasat, Arambagh, Tamluk, Jhargram, Uluberia, Jalpaiguri) have opened since, so treat the number as time-sensitive. For this paper, remember the official answer: 8.
