Kashmir Medical College Gears Up for NMC Inspection, Eyes 150 MBBS Seats and Super-Specialty Tag

Kashmir Medical College: Kashmir Medical College Srinagar is developing rapidly to enhance its educational and medical facilities in view of an impending assessment of the institution by the National Medical Commission. The assessment, expected to take place in June-July 2026, seeks to award the institution a Letter of Permission for admitting a batch of 150 students for the MBBS course. The effort, spearheaded by Dr. Nazir Ahmad, the Dean and Principal of Kashmir Medical College, seeks to ensure that the new institution becomes a top-notch medical super specialty hospital in addition to becoming a learning academy. 

The development of the institution seeks to ensure that a huge burden on existing regional hospitals is relieved since the new campus will be capable of handling complex cases which would otherwise overload the existing hospitals. The development will thus be beneficial to the region in many ways. The upgrading of the new campus with state-of-the-art laboratories, among other facilities, will ensure that the campus meets all the required standards of the evaluation committee.
