HIMSR Denies ₹813 Cr Diversion Claim, Blames Jamia Hamdard Affiliation Row for Seat Withdrawal
The controversy erupted after recent reports, including one published on July 22, revealed that HIMSR’s MBBS and PG medical seats have been removed from NEET UG and NEET PG counselling this year.
Hamdard Institute of Medical Sciences and Research (HIMSR) has issued an official clarification rejecting allegations of financial irregularities and asserting that recent withdrawal of 150 MBBS and 49 postgraduate medical seats for 2025–26 academic year was due to an affiliation dispute with Jamia Hamdard University, not any diversion of funds.
In a statement released on July 23, HIMSR termed media reports suggesting a diversion of ₹813 crore as “misrepresented and misleading.” Institute said that its finances are regularly audited by reputed firms, including PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), and no findings of wrongdoing have been flagged by any statutory body. HIMSR also clarified that no action or penalty has been issued by National Medical Commission (NMC) in relation to financial allegations.
The controversy erupted after reports revealed that HIMSR’s MBBS and PG medical seats had been removed from NEET UG and PG counselling this year. The removal came due to a pending case in Delhi High Court over Jamia Hamdard’s unilateral withdrawal of affiliation from HIMSR in June 2024, a move which institute says violated a court-issued order.
