NMC vacancies delaying medical admissions, SC Amicus tells court

Longstanding vacancies at the National Medical Commission are causing significant delays in medical admissions and regulatory processes. Key statutory positions remain unfilled, impacting approvals, renewals, and counselling. This leads to extended admission timelines and vacant medical seats. Students are the primary sufferers of these persistent issues. The functioning of the NMC is hampered by the absence of essential office-bearers.
