NMC freezes all medical college approvals for 2025-26 - Report - Video
Overview
NMC freezes all medical college approvals for 2025-26 - Report
The National Medical Commission (NMC) has frozen approvals for new medical colleges, seat increases, or renewals for the academic year 2025-2026, Mirror has reported. The decision reportedly follows the controversy that erupted over the NMC inspection bribery scandal involving fraudulent approvals being granted to medical colleges.
According to the CBI investigation, bribes were taken to grant approvals to medical colleges that lacked basic infrastructure, qualified faculty, and adequate patient care facilities. Amid this situation, NMC announced this decision aimed at restoring integrity in the medical education sector after the Central Bureau of Investigation conducted raids at 40 medical colleges across India.
Medical Dialogues had earlier reported how CBI busted a systemic corruption racket in the medical education sector and booked 34 individuals, including officials from the Union Health Ministry and the National Medical Commission (NMC), for their alleged involvement in manipulating the regulatory framework for private medical colleges. Among those named in the FIR are eight officials from the Union Health Ministry, a National Health Authority officer, and five doctors from the NMC’s inspection team. Prominent private medical college figures have also been implicated.
