NMC Advises Medical Colleges to Support NBEMS Practical Exams Amid Resource Shortages

The National Medical Commission (NMC) has issued an advisory to government medical colleges, urging them to support the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) in conducting postgraduate and postdoctoral practical exams. The advisory highlights challenges due to a shortage of examination centres, clinical material, infrastructure, and available faculty for examiner duties. Institutions are asked to facilitate exams, provide necessary resources, and promptly relieve eligible faculty for examiner roles. The NMC noted that NBEMS compensates centres and examiners for their services.
