“Your college has failed to meet the required faculty requirement (MSR 2020) for the existing MBBS Course being run in the college for 2023-24. This has been viewed seriously by the Competent Authority,” the show cause notice read.
“Therefore, your college is hereby directed as to why action should not be initiated against the non-compliance of the provisions contained in MSR as well as directions issued by NMC.”
COLLEGES NOT ADHERING TO GUIDELINES
Furthermore, numerous colleges fail to adhere to the compulsory attendance guidelines for faculty and senior resident doctors. According to clause 3.2 of the MSR 2023 guidelines, a minimum of 75 percent attendance is required for all faculty and senior resident doctors.
In the past one to two months, approximately 40 medical colleges in India have reportedly lost their recognition for failing to comply with the standards set by the National Medical Commission (NMC). In May, actions were
initiated based on non-compliance with norms and deficiencies concerning inadequate faculty, along with various lapses related to CCTV cameras, as per their statements.
Government data indicates a nearly doubled growth in the number of medical colleges, rising from 387 to 654, since 2014. Similarly, the number of MBBS seats has surged by 94 percent during this period.
