NMC Revokes MBBS Nod for Mata Vaishno Devi College Amid Row & Standards Failure

• National Medical Commission (NMC) revoked MBBS approval for Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Institute of Medical Excellence in Reasi, J&K.
• Decision follows a controversy over the admission of a majority of Muslim students for the 2025-26 academic year.
• NMC cited "gross and substantial" deficiencies in infrastructure, clinical material, and faculty after a surprise inspection.
• All 50 current MBBS students will be transferred to other recognized medical colleges within the Union Territory.
• BJP welcomed the decision, while Omar Abdullah had previously urged the college's closure due to politicization.

Why It Matters: NMC withdrew MBBS approval for Mata Vaishno Devi college due to admission row and severe quality deficiencies.
