Boosting Healthcare: 113 New Medical Colleges to Receive NMC Nod

Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra Lead with New Medical Colleges Awaiting Approval

India’s Medical Education sector is about to receive a monumental boost as The National Medical Commission (NMC)’s Medical Assessment and Rating Board (MARB) has officially notified 113 more medical colleges that had previously offered undergraduate medical courses in the 2024-25 academic year to start their batches again. Among these new institutions, Uttar Pradesh (UP) and Maharashtra are leading, with 22 and 14 new colleges in each state respectively.

This expansion is expected to greatly strengthen the nation’s healthcare system by bringing on more qualified personnel. As per the notification: "The final decisions of MARB regarding 113 applications for the establishment of new undergraduate medical colleges for the academic year 2024–2025 have been communicated through email IDs to colleges concerned for information and necessary action by them within the stipulated timeline."

For general information, MARB has made available a list of the 113 applications mentioned above, along with their application numbers. This list is attached to the public notice. Previously The NMC made public a list of medical institutions that have sought to begin offering MBBS courses and those currently seeking approval to add more MBBS seats for the academic year 2024-25. The commission has reported that it has received 170 online applications in this respect and that it has corresponded with the relevant medical institutes via email IDs to obtain information and take appropriate action.

Delhi Institute of Medical Sciences Najafgrah, South West Delhi, School of Medical Science, Sri Satya Sai the University of Technology and Medical Sehore, MP, Autonomous State Medical College Kushinagar, UP, Autonomous State Medical College, Pilibhit, Bharat Medical College & Hospital, Purulia, Autonomous State Medical College Society District Male & Female Hospital Sultanpur, and Mahatma Vidur Autonomous State Medical College, Bijnor are some of the colleges that have requested from NMC to start offering undergraduate courses.

Editor’s Note:

An important turning point in Indian medical education may be reached with the acceptance of 113 medical institutions which will increase the blooming demand for health services that has risen with the growing population. These new universities will assist in addressing the severe lack of medical professionals in many regions of the nation. Although Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh have more residents, opening of new medical colleges will surely benefit them more but other states stand to gain from this increase as well. 

The dispersion of newly established medical colleges over different areas guarantees a more equitable and balanced growth of the infrastructure supporting medical education. Skoobuzz hopes that these new medical colleges will establish new records of excellence in the healthcare system of India.
