The Union Government of India, in an unprecedented move, has decided to replace the Indian Medical Council Act (1956) with the newly approved National Medical Commission (NMC) Bill, 2019 in an attempt to reform India’s current medical educational system.
Once implemented, the National Medical Commission or NMC will comprise of four Autonomous Boards, which are as follows:
- Under-Graduate Medical Education Board
- Post-Graduate Medical Education Board
- Medical Assessment and Rating Board l Ethics and Medical Registration Board
So what does this mean for the medical education sector, both International and Indian?
With the introduction of the new Bill, the NMC looks to make the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test or NEET as the only entrance exams for UG medical courses. This completely changes the existing medical admission process where until now, students had to appear for multiple examinations, respective of the different medical institutions from all over the country that they wish to apply for.
