The National Medical Commission (NMC) issued a crucial warning today to medical students and aspiring doctors regarding misleading information on social media.
The fabricated news claims the immediate establishment of 113 new medical colleges across India for the upcoming 2024-25 academic year.
Clearing the Confusion:
The NMC clarified that they have only published a list of applications reviewed by the Medical Assessment & Rating Board (MARB) with final decisions. This list indicates that these applications have been processed, not that all 113 colleges have been automatically approved.
Final Decisions Yet to be Announced:
The NMC emphasized that the final verdict for each application can be either approval or disapproval. These final decisions have been directly communicated to the respective medical institutions. Additionally, the NMC will upload the official determinations to their website shortly.
Seeking Authentic Information:
The NMC strongly emphasized their commitment to transparency. They encourage medical aspirants and all stakeholders to rely solely on information from the official NMC website (https://www.nmc.org.in/) for accurate and up-to-date information regarding establishing new medical colleges.
Disregarding Misinformation:
The NMC urged the public to disregard any misleading or unsubstantiated news in print or electronic media. Medical aspirants and stakeholders are advised to visit the NMC website for authentic information regarding the approval status of new medical colleges for the upcoming academic year.
