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.

College name missing from NMC list
College shown as "not permitted" or "permission withdrawn"
No hospital attached to the campus

Confirming that information is easy nowadays; a couple of minutes of checks on official sites would give you everything you need.

Yes, you can definitely take admission in LPU as a medical student. LPU offers many programs for biology-based students such as BSc Medical, BSc Biotechnology, BSc Microbiology, BSc Zoology, BSc Food Technology, B.Pharm, and even allied health sciences. You just need to complete 10+2 with PCB and meet the minimum eligibility percentage required for the chosen course. Admission is usually done through LPUNEST or direct merit, depending on the program. You simply have to apply online, upload your documents, and pay the admission fee to confirm your seat.

Please tell me if LPU provides any kind of education loan help.
