NMC HAS CAUTIONED STUDENTS AND PARENTS AGAINST INSTITUTIONS THAT OFFER EASY ADMISSIONS AND OFFSHORE COURSES WHICH ARE NOT LEGALLY SANCTIONED. THE COMMISSION HAS ADVISED STUDENTS AND PARENTS

TO CONTACT NMC FOR VERIFICATION, PARTICULARLY IF THEY ARE PRESENTED WITH RECOGNITION LETTERS. New Delhi: The National Medical Commission (NMC) has issued an important notice for candidates

wishing to gain admission to any reputed medical institution. The medical authority has warned students and parents not to succumb to fraudulent offers promising easy admissions and offshore

courses that are not legally sanctioned. The commission emphasised the presence of several unauthorised medical colleges operating in India without the necessary approval, misleading

students and parents by offering fake courses. The medical authority has released an advisory stating that students studying at unapproved institutions will be considered ineligible for

FMGE, the exam for obtaining a licence to practise medicine in India, and the responsibility for disqualification will rest entirely on the candidate.  In the notice, the commission stated,

''NMC has noticed some instances of unauthorised medical colleges operating in the country without any necessary approval. These institutes are misleading students and parents by

claiming recognition and admitting them to medical courses that are not legally approved.  The commission has released a list of medical colleges and institutes for students seeking

admission to MBBS. The medical body has urged students and parents not to respond solely to college websites and advertisements. It is also underscored that NMC does not provide direct

admission to any medical college.  INSTITUTES UNDER SCRUTINY In light of this, the medical authority announced that Singhania University in Rajasthan and Saniban Hospital and Medical College

in Howrah, West Bengal, are under investigation for conducting medical courses and granting admission without permission, and legal action has been initiated against one of them.
