NMC cautions students against fake medical colleges, asks them to verify approvals

NEW DELHI The National Medical Commission (NMC) has cautioned students and parents against enrolling in medical colleges without verifying their statutory recognition and regulatory approvals, warning that fraudulent institutions could be misleading aspirants through advertisements, websites, social media promotions and unauthorised admission offers.

In a recent advisory issued in compliance with directions from the Supreme Court, the NMC has urged students to independently verify a medical college’s approval status, permitted student intake, and admission permissions for the relevant academic year before seeking admission or making any payment.
