Cancellation order came after admission was complete

NMC did not act immediately after the inspection and admissions to UG and PG courses were carried out till May first week and on May 19, the commission ordered admission cancellation.

“We are going for an appeal against the NMC decision because otherwise, the students will suffer. Students shall not suffer because admissions had been done as per the permission that was in existence on the day of admissions," said an official in MNR College, as reported by Deccan Chronicle.

As per reports, the inspection focussed on the patient inflow in the hospitals attached to the medical colleges. 

The surprise inspection was carried out at 12 private medical colleges under the Union Health Ministry. A team of 3-5 doctors inspected these colleges.
