NMC warns against fake allotment letter

The National Medical Commission has notified that a fake allotment letter under the name of the commission is being circulated.

The National Medical Commission (NMC) has issued a public notice to inform the general public about the fake allotment letter in circulation.

NMC has said that it has come to the commission's notice that a fake allotment letter under the alleged signature of the Chairman of NMC is under circulation.

The official notification reads, "It is brought to the public notice that the Commission does not offer admissions in any medical college or involved at all with college allotment process hence once again advised all concerned not to fall into the trap of miscreants. It is a fabrication intended to tarnish the image of National Medical Commission which in fact is mandated to supervise highest ethical standards in the medical profession."

KNRUHS writes to NMC for regulations against seat blocking

The Kaloji Narayana Rao University of Health Sciences (KNRUHS) has written to the NMC and asked for stringent action and setting up regulations against seat blocking.

The university has suggested that both seats of a student who takes admission to two colleges at the same time must be cancelled for the year to stop seat blocking.

Dr M Karunakar Reddy, Vice-Chancellor, KNRUHS said, “It is not possible to verify and trace suspected cases of seat blocking at the university level, so we had to lodged a police case. Since seat blocking does not fall under any specific law, we have written a letter to the NMC to include seat blocking in their admission regulations. We need to have a definition of what seat blocking is and have stringent rules to stop it by cancelling seats of students if they are found to have two seats simultaneously, ” as reported by TOI.
