NMC Pulls MBBS License: Serious Violations Found
7 Jan
Summary
- NMC withdrew permission for 50 MBBS seats for 2025-26.
- Institute failed to meet infrastructure and faculty standards.
- Admitted students will be transferred to other J&K colleges.
The National Medical Commission's Medical Assessment and Rating Board has withdrawn the Letter of Permission for the Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Institute of Medical Excellence to offer an MBBS course with 50 seats for the 2025-26 academic year. This decision, effective immediately as of January 6, follows a surprise inspection that uncovered significant non-compliance with minimum standards, including inadequate infrastructure and faculty strength, stemming from multiple prior complaints.
Authorities have directed the relocation of students already admitted for the 2025-26 academic session. These students will be accommodated in other medical colleges within Jammu and Kashmir, established as supernumerary seats in accordance with established norms. This measure aims to safeguard the educational progression of the affected students.
The institute, situated in J&K's Reasi district, had been granted approval for 50 MBBS seats on September 8 last year and commenced operations in November. This withdrawal comes after previous scrutiny, including the rejection of the institute's request to place all seats under the All-India Quota.
