The National Medical Commission (NMC) has postponed its decision to limit the number of MBBS seats to 100 per 10 lakh population for a year due to protests from southern states. The Union Health Ministry had asked the NMC to re-evaluate the ratio, leading to the decision to implement it from the academic year 2025-26. The NMC's initial decision, announced in August, had been met with opposition from states like Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Puducherry, which have a significant number of medical colleges.
