AMU's JN Medical College bags NMC nod for MCh Neurosurgery seats
Aligarh: Bringing good news to the Postgraduate medical aspirants in Uttar Pradesh, the Medical Assessment and Rating Board (MARB), operative under the National Medical Commission (NMC) has given its nod for two M.Ch seats in J N Medical College of Aligarh Muslim University.
These two seats in M.Ch Neurosurgery would be added to the medical institute from the academic session 2021-2022.
The nod from MARB has come after the Board took note of the Assessor's report and the recommendations of the PG Expert Group regarding the physical and other teaching facilities available at the medical college.
M.Ch or the Master of Surgery is one of the most advanced qualifications in surgery. Generally, this degree is pursued after MS in Surgery for gaining an expert-level understanding of this field.
At JLMC, the Department of Neurosurgery is the third department being granted NMC nod for the super-specialty programmes. Previously, approval for M.Ch courses was given for the Department of Plastic Surgery and the Department of Cardiology.
