Hyderabad: 34 government medical colleges in Telangana have received the National Medical Commission's approval for the academic year 2025-2026 after being issued show-cause notices by the Commission earlier this year.

The State Health Department issued an official statement in this regard recently and confirmed that the NMC granted permission for all these colleges, including the 26 medical institutes that were previously under the Commission's scrutiny.

In the official statement, the Department has clarified that all these medical colleges will continue operating for the current academic cycle. It also made it clear that NMC did not issue any penalties, and all the 4,090 MBBS seats across the institutes would remain unaffected.

Medical Dialogues had earlier reported that last month, NMC issued a show-cause notice to 26 government medical colleges across the State, citing inadequate infrastructure. The Commission had highlighted deficiencies in infrastructure, clinical materials, and teaching personnel.

Out of 34 government medical colleges, altogether 26 medical colleges had received the NMC show-cause. The only exceptions were Gandhi Medical College, Osmania Medical College, Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS), Adilabad, Government Medical College Nizamabad, Government Medical College Maheshwaram, Government Medical College Yadadri, and Government Medical College Vikarabad.

After getting the show-cause notice from the National Medical Commission (NMC), the Chief Minister of Telangana A. Revanth Reddy directed the Health Department officials to prepare a comprehensive action plan to provide all the amenities to the GMCs across Telangana to ensure their functioning.

CM Reddy issued instructions to the Health Department officials to set up an official committee in this direction to study the situation in each of these medical colleges, identify their needs, work of immediate importance, requirement of funds, and help from the Government.

Consequently, to address the infrastructure and staffing shortages in government medical colleges, the Telangana State Health Department had established 10 Medical College Monitoring Committees (MCMCs). Setting up these committees, the Telangana Health Department had tasked them to ensure that all the government medical colleges in Telangana met the benchmarks set by the the NMC- the Apex Medical Education Regulatory Body in the country- by June 2028. Further, these committees were directed to inspect and assess medical colleges and submit review reports. Apart from this, the Telangana Health Department had also decided to recruit around 1651 faculty members in the government medical colleges.

As per the latest media report by The New Indian Express, NMC has now given its approval for all 34 government medical colleges in Telangana for the academic year 2025-2026. Issuing a statement, the Health Department mentioned, "The NMC has acknowledged the state government’s measures to address faculty shortages. A promotion drive has been carried out to meet teaching requirements and regulatory norms."

However, the Commission has directed that the pending compliance issues be addressed within four months ,and it also confirmed that the existing approvals for all the colleges would remain valid.

TNIE has reported that as part of the staffing initiative, the State has promoted 44 senior professors as Additional Directors of Medical Education and deployed them as Principals and hospital superintendents. Additionally, 278 associate professors have been promoted to professors, and 231 assistant professors to associate professors.

The state has also issued a notification to fill 607 assistant professor posts through direct recruitment via the Medical and Health Services Recruitment Board (MHSRB). Meanwhile, State has also issued a notification to fill 607 assistant professor posts through direct recruitment via the Medical and Health Services Recruitment Board (MHSRB). Meanwhile, the Finance Department has sanctioned 714 more faculty posts.

Responding to the concerns regarding inadequate bed capacity in some teaching hospitals, the State Government has initiated the addition of more than 6,000 beds across 21 hospitals, aimed to improve patient care and clinical training.

The clearance from NMC comes when MBBS counselling in the State is expected to begin shortly, with Kaloji Narayana Rao University of Health Sciences finalising arrangements.

Soon, the State NEET ranks will be announced and consequently, the counselling will proceed as per the guidelines issued by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC).
