The National Medical Commission (NMC) has introduced new guidelines for MBBS admissions that assess the functional abilities of disabled candidates rather than relying solely on their disability percentage. Medical boards will be responsible for evaluating what candidates can do, marking a shift from the previous approach.

Reasonable accommodations and assistive devices will be factored into admission decisions before any candidate is assessed. The new framework aims to promote inclusive medical education while continuing to prioritize patient safety.
