NMC nod for all 34 government medical colleges in Telangana
On June 13, the NMC had issued notices to 26 of these colleges, citing issues related to infrastructure and faculty. In response, the Health department formed 10 Medical College Monitoring Committees on June 23 to inspect and prepare college-specific plans.
According to an official statement issued by the department on Wednesday, the NMC granted permission on Tuesday for all the colleges, including the 26 previously under scrutiny, to continue operating for the current academic cycle. The department clarified that no penalties were levied, and all 4,090 MBBS seats across the institutions would remain unaffected.
'The NMC has acknowledged the state government's measures to address faculty shortages. A promotion drive has been carried out to meet teaching requirements and regulatory norms,' the statement said.
The NMC has directed that pending compliance issues be addressed within four months, and confirmed that the existing approvals for all colleges remain valid.
As part of the staffing initiative, 44 senior professors have been promoted as Additional Directors of Medical Education and deployed as principals and hospital superintendents.
Additionally, 278 associate professors have been promoted to professors, and 231 assistant professors to associate professors.
MBBS counselling to start soon
A notification has also been issued to fill 607 assistant professor posts through direct recruitment via the Medical and Health Services Recruitment Board (MHSRB). The Finance department has sanctioned 714 more faculty posts.
In response to concerns over inadequate bed capacity in some teaching hospitals, the state government has initiated the addition of over 6,000 beds across 21 hospitals, aimed at improving patient care and clinical training.
MBBS counselling is expected to begin shortly, with Kaloji Narayana Rao University of Health Sciences finalising arrangements. The state NEET ranks will be announced soon, after which counselling will proceed as per Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) guidelines.

Study MBBS Abroad Without NEET: 5 Affordable Countries You Can Consider
Last Updated: Explore 5 affordable countries offering MBBS without NEET. Benefit from low tuition, global exposure, and English-medium education at recognised universities abroad. News18 For many Indian students aspiring to become doctors, cracking the NEET exam can be a daunting hurdle. However, several countries offer quality MBBS education without requiring NEET scores and at a fraction of the cost compared to private medical colleges in India. These destinations not only waive the NEET requirement (for admission), but also provide globally recognised degrees and practical clinical exposure. Here are five affordable countries where Indian students can pursue MBBS without NEET: 1. Russia Russia is one of the most popular destinations for Indian medical aspirants. Many of its government universities are recognised by international medical bodies. The low tuition fees, subsidised accommodation, and strong Indo-Russian ties make it a favourable choice. Top universities include Bashkir State Medical University and Kazan Federal University. Kyrgyzstan has emerged as a top low-cost destination for Indian students due to its simplified admission process, low cost of living, and presence of NMC-approved universities. Hostel facilities and Indian food are also commonly available, making it a student-friendly choice. 3. Kazakhstan Kazakhstan is known for its affordable education and good infrastructure. Medical universities here offer high-quality education and sufficient clinical exposure. Many Indian students choose this country due to its relatively easy visa process and cultural familiarity. 4. China Chinese medical universities attract thousands of Indian students every year. While NEET is not always required for admission, it is needed to return and practice in India. The curriculum, infrastructure, and exposure to advanced medical technology are some of the highlights. 5. Philippines The Philippines offers an American-style medical curriculum and is a preferred destination due to its cultural similarity, tropical climate, and affordable education. Students also benefit from strong English proficiency across the country, easing communication in hospitals and classrooms. Important Note For Students: While these countries may not require NEET for admission, Indian students must qualify NEET if they wish to appear for the FMGE (Foreign Medical Graduate Examination) in India and practice as a doctor. It is also important to verify whether the medical university is recognised by the National Medical Commission (NMC) before applying. tags : MBBS neet Study abroad view comments First Published: July 21, 2025, 12:46 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

FCIMS recognition cancelled by NMC
Representative image HYDERABAD: The National Medical Commission (NMC) has revoked the recognition of Father Colombo Institute of Medical Sciences (FCIMS) in Warangal, a private medical college with 150 seats, following bribery allegations against one of its trustees in a nationwide scam involving the recognition of private medical institutions. This action follows a case filed by the CBI against Father Joseph Komareddy, who allegedly attempted to pay 66 lakh to NMC officials during an annual inspection concerning infrastructure and faculty requirements for regulatory approval. The move is part of a broader CBI investigation into corruption within the NMC. The probe has uncovered a network of intermediaries accused of securing approvals for private medical colleges through bribery. A total of 36 individuals have been named in the FIR, including two from Telangana, one based in Hyderabad, Ankam Rambabu, and another trustee of FCIMS.
