NMC Withdraws MBBS Permission to Vaishno Devi Medical College: Standards Over Numbers

The National Medical Commission’s discontinuation of MBBS permission from Vaishno Devi Medical College is a brawny reminder that class in medical education cannot be compromised. While the decision focuses to impose regulatory standards, it has placed aspiring doctors in a state of unreliability, elevating serious concerns about student safeguard and institutional responsibility.

The step reflects persistent gaps in compliance—whether in infrastructure, faculty, or clinical exposure—and signals the NMC’s active stance against thinning of norms. However, it also reveals the desperate requirement for transparent inspections, timely corrective actions, and protections for students caught in regulatory altercation.

This episode must serve as an urgent call: widening medical seats is meaningless without maintaining standards. Strong regulation, accountable institutions, and student-friendly reforms are vital to preserve faith in India’s medical education system.
