The National Medical Commission (NMC) has renewed five-year recognition for Gauhati Medical College (GMC) and Assam Medical College (AMC), which were on the verge of losing their recognition. This was informed by Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on June 21.
NMC Renews 5-Year Recognition For GMC, AMC
Taking to Twitter, the Chief Minister said, ”The National Medical Commission has recognized Assam Medical College and Gauhati Medical College for another 5 years, with 170 and 156 seats respectively in the MBBS course.”
It is mentioned this comes after the two medical colleges appealed to the NMC when it temporarily suspended recognition of the mentioned colleges. These medical colleges were found to be non-compliant with the standards set by the Commission during recent inspections.
Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed Medical College (FAAMC) in Barpeta, is yet to get the recognition renewed as it also faced temporary suspension. These medical colleges were found to have several lapses related to Aadhaar-linked biometric attendance procedures, faculty rolls, and the installation and functioning of CCTV cameras.
