Clarification on Recognition/Continuation of Recognition(CoR) of MBBS degree for the year 2022-23

In view of the upcoming counseling schedule for NEET-UG 2023, the Medical Colleges and Institutions that were awaiting recognition or confirmation of registration (CoR) until the year 2023 and have not received any specific denial or admission stoppage communication for the academic year 2023-24 from the Medical Assessment and Rating Board (MARB) or the NMC, have been granted recognition for a period of one year only, namely the academic year 2022-23.

NMC clarifies on Recognition and Continuance of Recognition for One Year

NMC has now considered the hardships faced by medical students in obtaining permanent registration in the absence of recognised medial qualifications. It has therefore clarified that the recognition and continuance of recognition granted in 2023 for MBBS batches includes those batches admitted up to 2018-2019.
