NMC: PG medical counselling only through online mode

In a recent notification, the National Medical Commission (NMC) has introduced the “Post-Graduate Medical Education Regulations, 2023,” mandating that all rounds of counselling for every seat will be conducted through online mode by state or central counselling authorities.

The official statement released on December 29, 2023, explicitly stated, “All rounds of counselling for all seats will be held on the online mode by state or central counselling authority.” 

The notification emphasized that no medical college or institution is permitted to admit any candidate independently.

It further reiterated this point by stating, “No medical college/institution will admit any candidate.”

The regulations also outline the provision for common counselling for admission to post-graduate courses in medicine across all medical institutions in India.
