The National Medical Commission (NMC) has revoked the permission for the Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Institute of Medical Excellence to offer MBBS seats for the 2025-26 academic year due to serious deficiencies in infrastructure, faculty, and clinical standards. This decision followed a surprise inspection prompted by multiple complaints. All admitted students will be transferred to other medical colleges in Jammu and Kashmir as supernumerary seats. The revocation occurred amid a political controversy over the admission of a majority of Muslim students, which led to protests by Hindu groups and calls for the college's closure.
