Students are expressing shock and anxiety following the National Medical Commission's (NMC) withdrawal of approval for the Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Institute of Medical Excellence in Jammu. The NMC cited inadequate faculty, clinical material, and infrastructure, leading to the suspension of the MBBS course. Many students, particularly Muslims from Kashmir, are migrating from the campus, questioning the decision given the college's perceived high-quality facilities and recent inauguration of a superspeciality hospital. The college had recently admitted its first batch of 50 MBBS students.
