MBBS Admissions not uploaded on the NMC Portal will be considered INVALID
New Delhi: In a significant move, the Undergraduate Medical Education Board (UGMEB) of the National Medical Commission (NMC) has clarified that the MBBS students who have not registered in the NMC portal shall be considered as invalid admissions and such admissions shall not be eligible for future registration processes as well.
The Apex Medical Commission has informed that only those MBBS students who have registered in the NMC portal shall be considered to be valid admissions.
Issuing a notice in this regard, the NMC UG Board pointed out that based on the Supreme Court order, all the stakeholders were informed about the last date of admission for the MBBS course and the colleges and Directorate of Medical Education (DME) were also directed to upload the details of students admitted to the MBBS course in the NMC portal.
"In compliance to the directions of Hon’ble Supreme Court of India in Diary No. 45004 of 2023 filed by Ministry of Health and Family Welfare for extension of last date for admission of under graduate course in W.P. © No. 76 of 2015, all the stakeholders were informed about the extension of the last date of admission of Under Graduate Course and to conduct a Special Stray Vacancy Round for vacant MBBS seats of AIQ and State Quota and the colleges/DMEs were directed to ensure that the admission of MBBS students have been made according to the NMC regulation and upload their names in the NMC portal," NMC mentioned in the notice dated 05.12.2023.
Referring to this, NMC clarified, "It is hereby informed that students registered in NMC portal only shall be considered as valid admissions to be eligible for future registration to practice allopathy in India if they fulfill all criteria as required from time to time. This issue with the approval of Competent Authority."

The NMC has extended the deadline for online filling of MBBS admission info for a couple of times. Medical Dialogues had earlier reported that through a circular dated October 09, 2023, the Apex Medical Commission had asked medical institutes across the country to submit the details of the students who got admitted to the MBBS course during the academic year 2023-2024.
For this purpose, the NMC UG Board had set the deadline as 20th October 2023, till midnight. The Commission issued such a direction to ensure that all the MBBS admissions were made while adhering to the judicial decisions and MCI/NMC regulations, and to ensure that no admissions were made beyond the intake capacity, and to make sure that the eligibility criteria and qualifying marks specified under the Regulation on Graduate Medical Education, 1997 were being followed.
Previously, the deadline for completion of the MBBS admission procedure was September 30, 2023. However, thousands of MBBS seats remained vacant this year and ultimately the Union Health Ministry approached the Supreme Court bench seeking an extension of the last date of admissions to prevent wastage of 'precious' medical seats. Accordingly, MCC released the schedule for MBBS Special Stray Vacancy Round, which concluded on November 15, 2023.
NMC considered the schedule for the Special Stray Vacancy Round and extended the deadline to upload the joined MBBS candidates till 20.11.2023. The deadline was again extended and the colleges were allowed to upload the information of 1st year MBBS students admitted for the academic year 2023-2024 till 27.11.2023.
