New Delhi: The National Medical Commission (NMC) has issued a fresh directive to all medical colleges across the country, instructing them to furnish additional mandatory details in the Annual Declaration Form as part of the Annual Renewal process for the academic year 2025-26.
According to the public notice, the ongoing assessment process revealed that several colleges failed to provide crucial data under ‘Clinical Load – Anatomy Department’, particularly the number of cadavers handled—a key metric for evaluating the functionality and quality of medical education.
Key Additional Information Required:
- Cadaver Details (under ‘Clinical Load – Anatomy Department’)
- Number of Major Operation Theatres (OTs)
- Number of Minor Operation Theatres (OTs)
- (To be filled under ‘Hospital Details’)
These fields have now been made available in the Annual Declaration Form on the NMC Portal, which is open from April 25 to April 28, 2025.
The Undergraduate Medical Education Board (UGMEB) and heads of all institutions—including directors, principals, and deans—have been requested to ensure compliance before the deadline. The NMC emphasized that non-submission of the required information could impact the colleges’ renewal status for the upcoming academic year.
What Colleges Need to Do:
- Log in to the NMC Portal.
- Complete the Annual Declaration Form with:
- Accurate cadaver handling data.
- Updated numbers of major and minor operation theatres.
- Submit by 11:59 PM on April 28, 2025.
The NMC stated this measure is critical to maintaining transparent standards in medical education and to ensure adequate clinical infrastructure and training opportunities for students.
