In a significant boost for medical education in Jammu and Kashmir, the National Medical Commission (NMC) has sanctioned the addition of 190 new MBBS seats across five medical colleges in the union territory. This decision is expected to be a major relief for aspirants who appeared for the NEET 2025 examination and are seeking admission to undergraduate medical programs.
The increase in seats is part of a broader national initiative to enhance the number of medical seats available and improve the doctor-to-patient ratio in the country. The approval comes at a crucial time as the counselling process for medical admissions is in full swing, offering more opportunities for students to secure a place in a reputable institution within their home state.
The addition of these seats is a welcome development for the local medical fraternity and students, reinforcing the government's commitment to strengthening healthcare infrastructure and medical education in the region. The new seats will be incorporated into the upcoming counselling rounds, and candidates are advised to keep a close eye on the official counselling portals for the updated seat matrix.
