Mata Vaishno Devi Medical College Recognition Revoked; MBBS Students' Future Secured

• NMC revoked the Letter of Permission for 50 MBBS seats at SMVDIME Karkadiyal for the 2025-26 session.
• Decision followed a surprise inspection revealing severe faculty shortage (39%), infrastructure deficiencies, and low patient load.
• All admitted MBBS students for 2025-26 will be transferred to other recognized J&K medical colleges on supernumerary seats.
• The college faced protests over the first batch's composition (majority Muslim students) and alleged misuse of Shrine Board funds.
• NMC officially cited only quality standards and lack of preparations as the reason for revocation, not the controversy.

Why It Matters: NMC revokes Mata Vaishno Devi Medical College's recognition over quality; students' future secured.
