NEW DELHI: The National Medical Commission (NMC) has asked medical colleges to submit the video recordings of the exams conducted and the year-wise letter of recognition, under the annual declaration for the academic year 2025-26 by November 15. The submission is mandatory for colleges for renewal of permission of undergraduate medical seats.

“All medical colleges/institutes having valid Letter of Permission (LoP) for MBBS admission are hereby directed to fill in the details/data of respective Institutions on NMC portal for annual declaration as required in the NMC Act, 2019 and various regulations issued by NMC from time to time. Submission of duly completed annual declaration form of each college on NMC portal is mandatory for annual renewal of permission of UG-MBBS seats. No seat shall be permitted in case the college/institution fails to submit the annual declaration within the specified time period,” said NMC in an official letter.
