HC dismisses medical college’s request for NMC approval of PG Medical courses

The Telangana High Court has recently dismissed a plea filed by a medical college seeking permission from the National Medical Commission (NMC) to run postgraduate medical courses for the coming academic year. The NMC had withdrawn the letter of permission granted to the college after it submitted seven fake bank guarantee documents from the Bank of Baroda.

The college management had approached the High Court, claiming that the fraud was committed by the consultant with whom the college had an agreement and that the college had submitted genuine guarantees to the NMC. However, the High Court’s single judge bench rejected the plea.

The college then approached the division bench of the High Court. The counsels appearing on behalf of the college and the NMC submitted their respective arguments before the court. The NMC counsel brought to the court’s attention that the college had admitted students to the last academic year on the basis of fake bank guarantees.

The division bench of the High Court, comprising Chief Justice Ujjal Bhuyan and Justice N. Tukaramji, rejected the plea of the medical college after considering the submissions of both parties. This decision highlights the importance of obtaining the necessary permission from the NMC in order to maintain the quality of medical education in the country

Karnataka is renowned for its high quality medical education, and is often the first choice among students wanting to pursue a career in the medical field. With a total of 21 government colleges, 12 deemed universities, and 30 self-finance colleges, Karnataka offers a diverse range of options to prospective students.

Karnataka has introduced open merit seats in 25 self-finance private colleges in Karnataka at very reasonable fees. This is one of the main reasons why Karnataka is so popular. It is because the private medical colleges in the state were established about 30-40 years ago and have since matured, offering students high quality education.

Karnataka not only provides students with the opportunity to pursue their dreams of becoming a doctor, but it also offers them domicile for PG admissions. This means that if students have done their UG in Karnataka, then it is much easier for them to get PG seats in Karnataka. In addition, Karnataka also offers merit seats at a very low and reasonable price.

Moreover, Karnataka’s culture is very open and accepting, which makes it easy for students from other parts of the country to settle in easily. This, combined with the quality of medical education, the relatively low fees, and the domicile benefits, makes Karnataka an ideal destination for those seeking to pursue a medical career

However, there are four private universities in Karnataka which require students to pay fees ranging from 15,00,000 to 20,00,000. These universities are Dayanand Sagar, Khaja Bandanawaz University and SDM Dharwad.

In Karnataka, there are 12 deemed universities which provide great opportunities for those with marks between 300-500. These universities include Kasturba Medical College’s Manipal and Campus, S. Hegde of JSS Mysore, Yenepoya Bangalore, Raja Rajeshwari, inside Bangalore city and Sri Siddhartha, which is located in Tumkur.

For those with marks ranging from 400-500, the four private universities can be a great option, albeit at a higher fee. On the other hand, the 25 self-finance colleges offer great opportunities at more reasonable fees, making them an attractive option for many students. The ranking of these colleges has been done on the basis of cut-off and fees, making it easier to compare them and decide on a suitable option.
