New Delhi: Clarifying that the Self Assessment Forms (SAF) and the compliance reports are required as per the Postgraduate Medical Education Regulation (PGMER) 2000 and the Establishment of Medical Institutions, Assessment and Rating Regulations, 2023 and other criteria earlier specified by the National Medical Commission (NMC), the Medical Assessment and Rating Board (MARB) has asked the medical colleges to resubmit data within seven days.

NMC MARB issued these directions on April 10, 2024, after noting that several medical colleges while submitting applications for starting of PG medical courses or increasing existing PG seats had submitted the SAF and compliance report as per the Minimum Standard of Requirements for Postgraduate Courses-2023 (PGMSR 2023) dated 15th January 2024.
