In a positive development for medical aspirants in Rajasthan, the National Medical Commission (NMC) has approved the addition of 100 MBBS seats at the Government Medical College in Alwar. These new seats will be available for admission starting from the upcoming academic session in 2023-2024, following the regulatory approval from NMC. The commission inspected the facilities at the college and deemed the infrastructure to be satisfactory for running the MBBS course, leading to the granting of permission for the medical college, according to Times of India.

Last year, the foundation stone for the new medical college in Alwar was virtually laid by the Union Minister for Health and Family Welfare, Dr. Mansukh Mandaviya, along with the Chief Minister of Rajasthan, Shri Ashok Gehlot.

Recent reports from the media had indicated that a team from the NMC would be inspecting several medical colleges, including those in Bundi, Dausa, Karauli, Alwar, and Hanumangarh. To prepare for the inspection, the Rajasthan Medical Education Society (RMES) in Jaipur issued a letter to the principals of these new medical colleges, advising them to be ready for the upcoming assessment.

The Rajasthan Medical Education Society (RMES) issued a letter to the heads of the five new medical colleges, advising them to be prepared for the upcoming inspections by the National Medical Commission (NMC). The RMES emphasized that the inspections would take place soon and urged the colleges to ensure that all preparations were in accordance with NMC guidelines. If any assistance was needed regarding basic necessities, budget, equipment, resources, faculty, and non-faculty staff, the office should be informed.

Recently, the NMC team conducted an inspection of the medical college in Alwar to ensure that it was operating effectively and had sufficient facilities. The team assessed whether the college had fully equipped laboratories, teaching faculty, non-teaching staff, and other necessary infrastructural facilities, in accordance with NMC norms.

According to the latest report from the Times of India, the National Medical Commission (NMC) has granted permission for 100 MBBS seats to be offered at the medical college in Alwar for the upcoming academic session 2023-2024. This decision comes after an inspection of the college by the NMC, which deemed its facilities adequate for running the MBBS course.
