1. Visit the NMC Official Website for Verification: You can see there if the college is approved, what seats are open, and whether the college is able to admit in the statutory year.

2. Search the College Name: Type the exact name of your college. Do not use short forms because similar names could be there, and it might confuse you.

3. Read the Recognition Details of the Selected College: Look for MBBS approval, yearly renewal status and permitted seat count.

4. Do check the University Affiliation: Every medical institute must be affiliated with a recognised university. This can be seen either on the college's or the university's website.

5. Review Hospital Details: Make sure the teaching hospital is active, has beds, OPD facilities and patient flow.

Common Red Flags Students Should Notice

There are some common red flags you need to notice while taking admission to a medical college. Here they are:

College name missing from NMC list
College shown as "not permitted" or "permission withdrawn"
No hospital attached to the campus
Seats reduced or cancelled in the current year
Website showing outdated information

Confirming that information is easy nowadays; a couple of minutes of checks on official sites would give you everything you need. That way, you'd know you were going to a safe, legal, and recognised medical college for MBBS studies.

Are you feeling lost and unsure about what career path to take after completing 12th standard?

Dear Student,

With 247 marks in the NEET 2025 exam, the chances of getting admission to any government medical colleges are low; however, it is not impossible. In case students cannot secure MBBS or BDS admission, they have the option to choose other courses like BHMS, BAMS, or BUMS course.

Thank You
