PATIALA: The Punjab government this year will not be able to apply to the National Medical Commission (NMC) for the opening of a new government medical college for the 2025-26 academic session.

Consequently, no new government medical college would be operational in the state before March 2026.

The work on two proposed government medical colleges in Kapurthala and Hoshiarpur hasn't even started yet while the last date to apply to the apex medical education body, the NMC, is drawing nearer. The applying date to the NMC —a statutory body in the country that regulates medical education—is January 5, 2025.
