* These regulations shall come into force with effect from the date of their publication in the Official Gazette.
Deletion of Qualifying Criterion:
* Point 13 b of the Qualifying Criteria in the 2006 Regulations is deleted. This point referred to obtaining a certificate regarding the desirability and feasibility of starting a new or higher course of study or training from the State Government or Union Territory administration.
Substitution of Regulation 19 Clause C Proviso:

Impact Analysis:
Dental Colleges:
* Impact: Dental colleges are affected by the removal of the requirement to obtain a certificate for new courses and by the modified requirement for increasing admission capacity.
* Action Required: Dental colleges should note that a certificate of desirability and feasibility from the State Government or Union Territory is no longer needed for *new* courses. They must obtain a certificate from the State Government or Union Territory administration to increase admission capacity in *undergraduate* courses, but not for postgraduate courses.
State Governments and Union Territory Administrations:
* Impact: State Governments and Union Territory administrations are impacted as they no longer need to provide certificates of desirability and feasibility for new courses at dental colleges but will continue to provide certificates for increasing admission capacity at the undergraduate level.
* Action Required: Review and adjust processes for certificate issuance, focusing on the provision of certificates for increasing undergraduate admission capacity only.
