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 12:00 pm 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 shall be concluded on November 15, 2023.

Already admission procedures including fresh registration, choice filling and choice locking, processing of seat allotment, etc. have been completed and the results for the Special Stray Round were also published on November 07, 2023. The Commission clarified that it will be the last round of counselling for admission to undergraduate medical courses for this academic year.

Along with this, the Commission also notified its decision to extend the deadline to upload joined candidates till 20.11.2023. Now, issuing the recent notice, the deadline for filling up the information of 1st year MBBS students admitted for the academic year 2023-2024 has been extended by NMC till 27.11.2023.
