The National Medical Commission (NMC) has issued a significant public notice regarding tentative NMC PG Seats 2025-26 for Post-Graduate courses in medical colleges and institutions across India. This notification, dated February 4, 2026, emphasizes the critical need for all concerned institutions to meticulously verify the allocated seats. Consequently, timely reporting of any discrepancies is paramount for accurate admission processing.
According to the notice (No.N-19011(04)/2025-Assessment Cell/MARB/(Pt1)), the Medical Assessment & Rating Board (MARB) released a public notice on February 3, 2026. This notice included an updated list of seats available as of January 30, 2026, for various Post-Graduate (Broad Specialty) courses. This data incorporates seats granted under the NMC's purview for the Academic Year 2025-26.
All medical colleges and institutions must undertake a two-fold process. Firstly, they need to verify and confirm the number of seats displayed against their respective institutions. Secondly, they are instructed to bring any discrepancies to the notice of MARB/NMC. This must be done according to the instructions contained in the said notice. Therefore, prompt action is essential to avoid potential issues during the admission cycle.
The NMC's Medical Assessment and Rating Board (MARB) plays a crucial role in this process. Notably, previous updates from the NMC show an increase in the total number of PG medical seats. For instance, the total number of PG medical seats increased to 58,400 for 2025-26, which is an increase of 69 seats compared to earlier announcements. These figures are subject to verification and may see further minor revisions as institutions comply with the directive.
The accuracy of the seat matrix is fundamental for a fair and transparent counselling process. Therefore, the NMC mandates this verification to ensure that all stakeholders, including aspiring doctors, have access to correct information. Failure to report discrepancies within the stipulated 15 days from the date of the notice could impact the updating of student details on the NMC Admission Portal. Consequently, this might create complications for prospective students.
Medical institutions are strongly encouraged to adhere to the given timeline and guidelines. This will ensure smooth processing for the upcoming academic year. Furthermore, the transparency maintained through these regular updates helps maintain the integrity of medical education in India.
Institutions are advised to refer to the specific instructions provided in the original public notice dated February 3, 2026, for detailed guidance on reporting discrepancies. The official email for communication regarding such matters is monitoring.cell@nmc.org.in. Furthermore, prompt communication is key to resolving any issues efficiently.
