NMC has given permission to increase MBBS seats, which means now some medical colleges will be able to give admission to more students than before. This step has been taken to overcome the shortage of doctors and to give opportunity to more students.
What decision did NMC take?
The National Medical Commission has decided to relax the intake rules of MBBS seats for 2026-27. According to the old rules, the maximum limit of colleges was fixed, but now the college which fulfills the required rules, regulations, faculty and resources can increase the seats up to 250. Apart from this, NMC has also made it clear that permission to increase seats will be given in a phased manner. The inspection process will be made more strict and transparent than before, so that there is no compromise in the quality of education in the colleges which But if there is any reduction or penalty already applicable, they will not be allowed to increase their seats.
How many seats will increase?
Till now, MBBS seats were limited in many medical colleges, but according to the new guidelines, colleges can increase the seats from 150 to 200 or maximum 250 depending on their capacity, however this increase will be possible only when the colleges fulfill all the standards of NMC.
