Medical Colleges: National Medical Commission (NMC) has derecognized 40 medical colleges for having inadequate faculty. These colleges also didn’t have critical infrastructure like biometrics for tracking attendance and CCTV cameras.
Another 100 medical colleges are also under the scanner of NMC. These colleges may also lose their licences if NMC finds they are violating its rules.
