Earlier, through a public notice dated December 22, 2025, Deans and Principals of all Government Medical Colleges were requested to circulate the Google Form among faculty members who are eligible to serve as postgraduate teachers. The aim was to seek their consent to be associated with NMC for carrying out inspections of medical colleges from time to time.
The extension decision has been taken to ensure wider participation and adequate representation of experienced faculty members in the assessor pool. MARB has urged all concerned stakeholders, including Directors, Principals, and Deans of Government Medical Colleges, to take note of the revised timeline and facilitate timely submission by eligible faculty.
The notice has been approved by the competent authority and signed by the President of the Medical Assessment and Rating Board, NMC. Copies of the communication have also been forwarded to State and Union Territory medical education departments and senior officials of the Commission for necessary action and dissemination.
The Medical Assessment & Rating Board (MARB) carries out inspection of Medical Colleges in accordance to the MARB Regulations made under NMC Act 2019.
"It is to intimate that MARB will start the inspection process in due course for Academic Year (A.Y.) 2026-27 for various UG and PG applications for which faculty from various Government Medical Colleges will be engaged as Assessors for conducting the inspections. The same group of assessors may be used for any additional inspections conducted by MARB other than UG and PG applications," the earlier notice had stated.
