Submission of Bank Guarantees is a requirement the medical colleges must fulfill to open new medical colleges or start/increase MBBS and PG medical seats.
Last year, Medical Dialogues reported that NMC MARB had asked the applicants to submit the required Bank Guarantees clarifying that if the applicants fail to submit the necessary Bank Guarantees within the deadline, their applications shall not be considered for the Academic Year 2024-2025.
Earlier this year, NMC took note of the number of expired Bank Guarantees (BGs) lying with the Commission and decided to return those BGs on a formal request to the colleges/institutions.
However, for returning those BGs, NMC had laid down some conditions including that the validity period of the BG has expired, at least one batch of PG and UG students have passed after completing the course. In this regard, the Commission had asked all the medical colleges/institutes concerned to accordingly make a formal request to return those expired BGs immediately on the authorised e-mails of MARB, NMC.
