The MCI says the number of registered allopathic doctors in the country is 6,83,582, with one doctor for every 1,634 population.
In addition, there are more than six lakh practitioners of Indian Systems of Medicine and homoeopathy.

There are 271 medical colleges, out of which 138 are in the government sector and the remaining 133 in the private sector. The colleges can admit 31,172 MBBS students a year, and the number of seats available in various postgraduate medical courses is approximately 11,005 annually.
However, medical practitioners say that only if the MCI and the Dental Council of India (DCI) recognise the courses in foreign countries can the degree holders register themselves in the country and practise.

The Union government, on March 10,2008 issued a notification under the Indian Medical Council Act, 1956, recognising postgraduate medical degrees awarded in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the U.K. and the U.S., generally referred to as the English-speaking countries.
