NMC Allows Due Recognition To Medical Colleges For MBBS Admissions

New Delhi: In consonance with the NEET 2022 admission schedule and permission requests, the National Medical Commission (NMC) has allowed all pending recognition and continuation of recognition to medical colleges for MBBS seats. With this move, the NMC has granted permission for MBBS admissions this academic year, for the same number of seats, as the medical colleges made admissions last academic year of 2021-2022.

Earlier in September, after the declaration of NEET 2022 results, the NMC had allowed the due renewal of permission and recognition or continuation of recognition to all medical colleges based on a sworn affidavit for the academic year 2022-2023 duly signed by the medical colleges' authorities. However, the NMC warned the institutes that surprise inspections would be conducted as per their track record and decisions will be taken according to the assessment reports.

"The medical colleges, their recognition and continuation of recognition are due, for all of them, it has been decided to give recognition and continuation or recognition on the basis of sworn affidavit for the academic year 2022-23," the notification released by the NMC had mentioned.

"However, random surprise inspections may be carried out on the basis of the track record of the medical colleges for the Academic Year 2022-2023 and on the basis of the inspection reports decision will be taken, the NMC further stated.
