A hectic lobbying is on at the state and national level by the managements of the 27 private medical colleges in the state to these seats even as state health officials are busy putting together possible solutions to deal with the medical admission chaos this year. Surprisingly, even the colleges that secured MCI clearances very recently have almost sold out their seats. Of the 3,300 medical seats in private colleges in the state, as many as 1,320 seats fall under the management quota. College managements say that Rs 700-800 crore is riding on
