The National Medical Commission (NMC) has made significant amendments to the regulations governing medical education in India. The previous cap of 150 MBBS seats per college, effective from the 2024-25 academic year, has been lifted, allowing institutions to expand their undergraduate medical capacity. Additionally, the requirement mandating 100 MBBS seats per 10 lakh population in a state or Union Territory has been scrapped, enabling states to tailor the number of MBBS seats according to their specific needs and infrastructure. Furthermore, the distance requirement between medical colleges and their associated hospitals has been revised from a maximum travel time of 30 minutes to a maximum distance of 10 km, with a 15 km allowance for North Eastern and Himalayan states. These changes, notified in the Extraordinary Gazette of India, are part of the guidelines under the National Medical Commission Act, 2019, and aim to enhance the overall capacity and accessibility of medical education across the country.
