Lucknow: After objecting to granting recognition to Lucknow-based Ram Manohar Lohia Institute of Medical Sciences (RMLIMS), the National Medical Commission (NMC) has finally granted recognition for 150 MBBS Seats to the institute.
This happened after the Chief Minister of the State, Yogi Adityanath intervened. The NMC Recognition is valid for five years and after that the institute will be required to apply for renewal.
Previously, the Apex medical education regulatory body NMC had objected to the institute's non-compliance with the Aadhaar Based Biometric Attendance System (AEBAS).
However, following the intervention of the Chief Minister, the higher officials of the medical education department and RMLIMS approached NMC, as per the instructions of the CM, for recognition.

As per the latest media report by the Times of India, the Institute convinced NMC that it had taken steps for complying with the system. Thereafter, writing to the dean of the institute, NMC informed that continuation of recognition (CoR) was granted for the students being trained at RMLIMS. Recognition was approved for an intake of 150 students for each batch.
Commenting on this, the spokesperson of RMLIMS Lucknow, Prof AP told TOI, "This is yet another milestone in the journey of the institute. The students are now happy and content."
Recognition from NMC for a particular batch is mandatory for those students to be able to register with the State Council or NMC. Without recognition, MBBS graduates are also not allowed to get a license or practice. They are also barred from participating in counselling for admission to postgraduate medical courses.
Earlier this year, Medical Dialogues had reported that in a major crackdown over non-compliance to its mandated standards for imparting medical courses, the apex medical regulatory body, National Medical Commission (NMC) had de-recognised around 40 medical colleges. Apart from these 40 institutes, reportedly 100 other medical colleges were under the scanner of the Apex medical body and were likely to face the NMC action.
Speaking to the news agency ANI on this overhaul, the official sources had informed, “The action was taken on account of these institutions not complying with norms as well as lapses pertaining to faculty and security (CCTV) cameras.”
Medical Dialogues had earlier reported that around 300 medical graduates in Uttar Pradesh were facing problems since they were unable to register with the State Medical Faculty (SMF) in the absence of recognition from the Apex medical commission.
Reportedly, the MBBS students of the 2017 batch of these three medical colleges, who graduated in 2022, have been facing a situation concerning lack of recognition for the last year. Meanwhile, the 2018 batch of MBBS students are about to appear in the exams and complete the MBBS course in 2023 and they are also worried about their future.
Raising the issue of those medical graduates in Uttar Pradesh, recently the Indian Medical Association (IMA) approached the Chief Minister of the State Yogi Adityanath and blamed the blanket permit given by NMC for this situation.
