After deferring Rule to Cap MBBS Seats per population, NMC Reopens Portal to apply for new medical colleges or increase in MBBS seats
NEET PG Counselling
New Delhi: After deferring the implementation of the rules of 100 MBBS seats per 10 lakh population, the National Medical Commission (NMC) has now re-opened its portal to apply for the establishment of new medical colleges or an increase of MBBS seats in the existing institutes.
However, the portal has been opened only for those applicants who could not apply previously due to the condition of 100 MBBS seats for 10 lakh population in the States/UTs.
Issuing a Public Notice in this regard yesterday, the Commission has asked the interested applicants to submit the applications to NMC online by 26.11.2023.
This comes after the Commission issued a notice on November 15, 2023, and put on hold its decision on the MBBS seat cap per population till the year 2025.
Medical Dialogues had earlier reported that the NMC decision to defer the plan limiting MBBS seats in each state to 100 per 10 lakh population came in the backdrop of a Health Ministry directive.
