NMC issues notice to Pondy on illegal MBBS admission after cut-off date

The National Medical Commission (NMC) has issued a notice to the Puducherry government for conducting MBBS counselling after the September 30 deadline set by the Supreme Court. The NMC has asked the government to explain why action should not be taken against them, as several MBBS seats were vacant on the cut-off date. The government has submitted a written clarification and is confident of a positive response from the NMC. The Puducherry State Students and Parents Welfare Association has demanded that the government publicly announce its reply to the NMC’s notice.
