NMC Revokes Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Medical College Permission; Students Relocated

• National Medical Commission (NMC) withdrew permission for Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Institute of Medical Excellence due to non-compliance with minimum standards.
• The decision by MARB, effective immediately, follows a surprise inspection revealing extensive deficiencies in faculty, infrastructure, and clinical material.
• Deficiencies included 39% faculty and 65% tutor/demonstrator/SR shortage, low patient load (OPD 182 vs 400, bed occupancy 45% vs 80%), and inadequate facilities.
• All students admitted for the 2025-26 academic year will be accommodated in other medical institutions in Jammu and Kashmir as supernumerary seats.
• The NMC will also invoke the college's performance bank guarantee, highlighting financial and regulatory consequences for non-compliance.

Why It Matters: NMC revokes medical college permission over severe deficiencies, ensuring students' relocation to other institutes.
