NMC denotifies medical education rules, raising verification concerns over annual disclosures

The National Medical Commission has denotified certain medical education rules. The 2019 Act allows the Medical Assessment and Rating Board to evaluate any institute at any time without prior notice. With the denotification, key evaluation components have been dropped. These include verification of physical infrastructure, confirmation of the required faculty numbers, and review of student feedback. As a result, concerns have been raised that annual disclosures may lack adequate verification.
