While responding to the queries related to the derecognition of the College of Physicians and Surgeons (CPS) courses, the Union Minister of State for Health, Smt Anupriya Patel, informed the Lok Sabha that recognition to medical courses is granted under the National Medical Commission (NMC) Act, 2019.
Besides, any University or medical institute in India that grants an undergraduate, postgraduate, or super-speciality medical qualification not included in the NMC list may apply to the Apex Medical Commission before starting a course leading to a recognized medical qualification.
