NMC approves conditional renewal to 22 GMCs in Karnataka - Video

In a major relief for the undergraduate medical education in Karnataka, the National Medical Commission (NMC) has granted conditional renewal and recognition to 22 government medical colleges in Karnataka, which had earlier received show-cause notices from the Commission for deficiencies in infrastructure and faculty requirements.

While granting conditional renewal and recognition to these medical colleges for the academic year 2025-2026, the Apex Medical Commission gave them four months to comply with the NMC standards.

Even though the Commission has not imposed any penalties on any of these 22 GMCs this year, they have been issued warning that admissions will be restricted for the next academic year if the system is not rectified.

Medical Dialogues had previously reported that earlier this year, NMC had issued show-cause notices to 22 government medical colleges in Karnataka for failure to meet standard parameters, including infrastructure and faculty recruitment.
