Relief: NMC allows Medical Colleges with pending recognition to admit fresh MBBS batch
New Delhi: In a major relief, the National Medical Commission (NMC) has granted permission to medical colleges/institutes with pending NMC recognition to admit a fresh batch of MBBS students with the same intake as in the academic year 2022-2023.
The Apex medical education regulatory body NMC took this decision as it took note of the schedule of the counselling of the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test Undergraduate (NEET-UG) 2023 examination.
Issuing a public notice on Friday, the President of the Undergraduate Medical Education Board (UGMEB) of NMC stated, "Considering the schedule for counseling of NEET-UG 2023, Medical Colleges/Institutions that were due for Recognition/CoR due upto the year 2023 and have not been communicated for specific denial or stoppage of admission for the academic year 2023-24 by MARB/NMC, are hereby granted Recognition for a period of ONE YEAR ONLY(i.e. AY 2022-23), for all the admitted MBBS batches upto the academic year 2018-19."
NMC allowed these medical colleges to admit new students in the MBBS course and further mentioned in the notice, "These medical colleges/institutions are allowed to admit fresh batch of MBBS students with the same intake as in the academic year 2022-23."
The NMC relief comes after the Commission recently provided major relief to numerous MBBS graduates, who have been facing troubles in obtaining permanent registration in the absence of recognition for their respective batches.
Medical Dialogues had earlier reported that NMC granted recognition/continuance of recognition for one year for all the MBBS batches admitted up to 2018-2019. NMC took this decision after considering the peculiar situation and the hardships faced by the medical students in obtaining permanent registration in the absence of recognized medical qualifications.
Meanwhile, the counselling for NEET UG 2023 admission is going to begin soon and the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has released the tentative schedule for online NEET counselling.
The schedule has been released for All India Quota (15%)/ Deemed/Central Universities/ All AIIMS Institutes/ JIPMER (Puducherry & Karaikal). There are a total of 4 rounds of the counseling process. i.e. round 1, round 2, round 3, and stray vacancy round.
According to the MCC schedule, the registration process for the first round of counselling is likely to commence from 20th July, 2023 and continue up to 25th July, 2023 (up to12:00 NOON) only as per Server Time.
