NMC Advises Students to Verify Medical College Approvals Amid Fake Institution Reports
The National Medical Commission (NMC) has issued an advisory warning students and parents against enrolling in medical colleges without verifying their statutory recognition and regulatory approvals. This follows a Supreme Court directive amid reports of fake medical colleges, including one operating from a farmhouse. The NMC urges verification of a college's approval status, permitted intake, and admission permissions for the relevant academic year through official sources. It cautions against relying solely on advertisements or unverified agents and recommends using authorized counselling channels for admissions.
