The National Medical Commission (NMC) approves an increase of 50 MBBS seats at Government Medical College (GMC) Srinagar, raising the college’s annual intake from 200 to 250. According to an official, the NMC’s Medical Assessment and Rating Board issues a Letter of Permission (LoP) under Section 28(3) of the National Medical Commission Act, 2019. The approval takes effect for the upcoming academic year 2026-27. The Health and Medical Education Department says the seat expansion is intended to strengthen medical education and healthcare delivery in Jammu and Kashmir. One report adds that the NMC had previously approved an increase of 20 seats at GMC Srinagar last year, indicating a continuing step to expand capacity. The decision follows an evaluation by the NMC’s MARB under the Undergraduate Medical Education Standards Regulations (UGMSR), 2023. Both outlets report that the NMC’s approval is tied specifically to adding 50 seats and that the resulting intake level will be 250 students per year starting in 2026-27.
