The National Medical Commission (NMC) has issued an addendum to its recently released Guidelines on Assessment of Persons with Benchmark Disabilities (PwBD) for Admission to the MBBS Course, 2026, clarifying that eligible candidates will not be denied admission under the PwBD quota solely because they hold a temporary Unique Disability Identity (UDID) Card or temporary Disability Certificate.
The clarification, issued on August 5, 2026, comes after the NMC's July 27 notification, which stated that every candidate applying under the PwBD category must have a valid Permanent UDID Card.
