No MBBS permission will be granted if failed to submit annual declaration: NMC warns medical colleges, extends deadline

New Delhi: The Undergraduate Medical Education Board (UGMEB) of the National Medical Commission (NMC) has once again extended the deadline for the medical colleges to submit the Annual Declaration details/data. Issuing directions to the medical colleges to submit the required data by the new deadline i.e. 25th April 2024, the Apex Medical Commission has warned the medical colleges that the Commission shall not grant permission for MBBS admission if the institutes fail to submit the Annual Declaration Form.

Medical Dialogues had earlier reported that NMC for the first time had notified about the importance of the Annual Declaration Form through its notice dated 18.03.2024. Issuing the notice last month, the Commission had warned that no seat would be permitted if any medical college failed to submit the annual declaration within the deadline.

"All Medical Colleges/Institutes having valid Letter of Permission (LoP) for MBBS admission are hereby directed to fill the details/data of respective Institutions on NMC portal for annual declaration as required in the NMC Act, 2019 and various regulations issued by NMC from time to time. Submission of duly completed Annual Declaration Form of each College on NMC Portal is mandatory for annual renewal of permission of UG-MBBS seats. No seat shall be permitted in case the College/Institution fails to submit the Annual Declaration within the specified time period," the Apex Medical Commission had stated in the notice.
