NMC withdraws MSMER-2023, raising questions over medical education accountability

The National Medical Commission has de-notified the Maintenance of Standards of Medical Education Regulations, 2023, under which colleges faced fines for violating educational and infrastructure standards. The move removes provisions to fine individual faculty and administrators up to ₹5 lakh for false information. The Medical Assessment and Rating Board can still penalise institutions up to ₹1 crore under separate rules.
