Chintpurni College banned from fresh MBBS admissions
During an inspection at Chintpurni Medical College, Pathankot, the National Medical Commission(NMC) found some serious deficiencies in terms of faculty, patient load and infrastructure. So the NMC has refused permission for Chintpurni Medical College to admit MBBS students for the 2023-24 session.
The NMC also made it clear that the recognition of the college is conditional. Previously, the college was banned from admitting students for two academic years 2017-18 and 2018-19. Following that the students of previous batches were shifted to different medical colleges.
A few months ago, an inspection by the Bada Farid University of Health Sciences found obtrusive deficiencies in patient load, required faculty and infrastructure. It was also noticed that the college was charging students beyond the prescribed fees without providing proper facilities.
After the inspection, the government wrote to the NMC that the college was playing with the future of the students and told them to inquire about the functioning of the college.
Last month, Anurag Agarwal, Punjab Additional Chief Secretary, wrote a letter to the NMC Director saying that this is a matter of grave concern that the college which had been granted permission by the NMC was not following the statutory regulations and guidelines.
Swaran Salaria, Chairman of the college, said that his college was not alone which had been disapproved. He accepted that there were a few deficiencies and he promised to overcome them so that the NMC will again allow them to start a fresh batch.
