New Delhi: The National Medical Commission (NMC) has responded to media reports, clarifying that no new medical colleges or additional undergraduate (UG) and postgraduate (PG) seats have been approved for the 2024-25 academic year by the Medical Assessment and Rating Board (MARB), calling them “fake news.”
The notice said, “The Medical Assessment & Rating Board (MARB), NMC has not approved/sanctioned any New Medical College or increase of UG/PG Seats in various medical courses for the academic year 2024-25 so far. The applications received for this academic year are still under process. Any decision in the matter, whenever is taken by NMC, will be uploaded on the website of NMC immediately.”
The MARB is currently assessing numerous applications, including 112 for new medical colleges and 58 for more MBBS seats in existing institutions. The NMC encouraged everyone to trust official updates and avoid believing misleading information.
