NMC clarifies on login credentials to be used by medical colleges for filing appeals through new portal

In a recent public notice, the Commission informed that medical colleges which had applied for the establishment of a new medical college for the academic year 2026-27 and wish to appeal against a decision of the Medical Assessment and Rating Board (MARB) must use the same email ID and password that were used while submitting their original application to MARB.

According to the Commission, institutions should carefully read the User Manual and follow all instructions available on the portal before filing an appeal. Using the prescribed login credentials will ensure seamless access and avoid delays in the appeal process.

Earlier, through a public notice, the NMC had announced that all appeals against decisions of the Undergraduate Medical Education Board (UGMEB), Postgraduate Medical Education Board (PGMEB), and MARB under the provisions of the National Medical Commission Act, 2019, would henceforth be accepted only through the Online Appeal Portal. Appeals submitted through email or any other mode have been discontinued with immediate effect.

Institutions are also required to upload the impugned order, appeal letter, and other relevant documents such as show-cause notices, compliance reports, assessment reports, and self-declarations, wherever applicable. The prescribed appeal fee is ₹50,000 plus applicable GST, which can be paid through the online payment gateway or via NEFT/RTGS.
