Relief for 140 med students after panel's new MBBS list

The National Medical Commission (NMC) has released a new list of eligible MBBS candidates for the 2023-24 academic session, including the names of 140 medical students from Maharashtra whose admissions were initially invalidated. The NMC states that these students will be eligible to practice modern medicine in India if they fulfill all other criteria. The admissions of these students were conducted at the institution level in private colleges and were deemed invalid by the NMC. However, the eligibility list has now provided relief to the students and their parents, as it includes their names. The NMC's notification also highlights the failure of many colleges to upload complete student data.

Proponents of the toll argue that it is justified given the cost of the project, while citizens express concerns about adding to their tax burden.
