JNMC team to visit NMC to clear discrepancies in data for seats enhancement

Aligarh : A team from the Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College (JNMC), Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) will soon visit the National Medical Commission (NMC) to provide the complete data to rectify the discrepancies in the data collected by NMC assessors for enhancement of MBBS seats at JNMC.

Prof Rakesh Bhargava (Dean, Faculty of Medicine and Principal, JNMC) said: “Since the proposal pertaining to the enhancement of MBBS seats from 150 to 200 at JNMC was disapproved by NMC on July 8, 2022, a day before the Eid festival; the discrepancies mentioned in the letter seem to be an outcome of the miscalculations done on the basis of the incomplete data collected by the assessors of the NMC related to bed occupancy, pathological and radiology investigations, OT Surgeries, OBG deliveries, etc”.

“Besides this, some faculty members were on leave due to Eid and Friday that has been considered as paucity of teachers by the NMC. Moreover, the data mentioned in the letter of the NMC team is only of a couple of hours and not the whole day of July 8, 2022 (Friday)”, he added.
