In a great relief for medical students, the Delhi High Court has crushed the National Medical Commission (NMC) rule that imposed a blanket ban on MBBS migration. The court held that an absolute restriction on migration is illogical and fails to consider veritable student difficulties.
The rule was questioned on the grounds that it was whimsical and ignored unique circumstances such as health issues, institutional issues, or administrative issues. The High Court observed that regulatory authorities must strike a balance between maintaining academic standards and protecting student well-being.
With the ruling, MBBS migration is no longer wholly barred, though it will continue to be governed by logical conditions, seat availability, and institutional approvals. The ruling is expected to push the NMC to reframe its migration instructions in a just and transparent manner.
This ruling reinforces the requirement for student-friendly regulations within medical education while upholding academic discipline.
