In The Wake of The Bribery Probe, The NMC Has Decided to Blacklist Four Evaluators and Suspend Renewal of Existing Seats in Six Medical Colleges

The National Medical Commission (NMC) has blacklisted four evaluators and put a stay on renewal of existing undergraduate (UG) and postgraduate (PG) seats in six medical colleges in response to a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) FIR in a bribery case.

The action by the apex regulatory body comes after the CBI filed an FIR on June 30 against 34 people, including evaluators sent to evaluate the performance of medical colleges, as well as owners and officials of various colleges.

The National Medical Commission had halted any process of increasing the number of seats or starting new courses even before the investigation began. The CBI unearthed a corruption scandal in which the regulatory framework of medical colleges was manipulated.

This allegedly involved the unauthorised sharing of classified regulatory information, manipulation of statutory inspection processes, and widespread bribery to ensure favourable treatment for private institutions.

In one of the cases reported in the FIR, a medical college was given four days’ advance notice of an upcoming surprise inspection, along with the names of the evaluators. This advance notice gives colleges time to make fraudulent arrangements, such as bribing evaluators, deploying fake faculty, admitting fake patients and tampering with the biometric attendance system for faculty attendance. In this case, the evaluators had allegedly taken bribes.

NMC Will Conduct Verstual Inspection:

“The National Medical Commission (NMC) will conduct a virtual inspection or check the self-declared information submitted by the colleges,” said a senior official aware of the matter.

The virtual inspection includes checking CCTV footage installed in key areas of the college as well as analysing the biometric attendance records of faculty members. According to the CBI FIR, silicon fingerprints have been used illegally to circumvent the biometric attendance system.
