NMC Announces Changes To The Regulations Regarding The Establishment Of Medical Colleges

The National Medical Commission (NMC) has published the Draft Establishment of Medical College Regulations, (Amendment), 2022, which modifies the regulations governing the establishment of medical colleges.

These revised regulations, which aim to alter the existing standards listed in the Establishment of Medical College Regulations, 1999, will benefit universities and deemed-to-be-universities.

The requirement of having a fully functional hospital for a minimum of two years will no longer apply to universities or institutions that are judged to be universities under the revised qualifying requirements for the establishment of medical colleges.

The hospital and medical college buildings must be owned and managed by the same company, the proposed medical college building cannot be used for any other purpose, and as of the application deadline, the institute must have an established multi-specialty hospital with at least 1000 in-patient beds.
