Executive Summary & Key Takeaways

What it means

  • The gazette notification introduces the 'Establishment of New Medical Institutions, Starting of New Medical Courses, Increase of Seats for Existing Courses & Assessment and Rating Regulations, 2023', also known as 'Establishment of Medical institutions, Assessment & Rating Regulations, 2023'.
  • These regulations outline the rules and procedures for establishing new medical institutions, starting new medical courses (both undergraduate and postgraduate), increasing seats in existing courses, and the assessment and rating of medical institutions in India.
  • The regulations aim to ensure quality and standards in medical education by setting eligibility criteria, application processes, assessment methodologies, and potential penalties for non-compliance.

Key Changes

  • No medical college or institution can be established, nor can new medical courses be started, without written permission from the Medical Assessment and Rating Board (MARB).
  • The MARB can invite applications for establishing new medical institutions for undergraduate courses, postgraduate courses, or both.
  • Specific entities are eligible to apply, including Central and State Governments, Union Territories, universities, autonomous bodies promoted by government, societies registered under the Societies Registration Act, 1860, and Section 8 Companies under the Companies Act, 2013.
  • Eligible entities must apply through a web portal with specified fees and meet conditions under the Minimum Standards of Requirements (MSR) notified by the Undergraduate Medical Education Board (UGMEB) or Postgraduate Medical Education Board (PGMEB).
  • Applications must include an Essentiality Certificate (EC) from the relevant government, a Consent of Affiliation (CoA) from a recognized university, proof of a dedicated corpus fund, a solvency certificate, land ownership documents, infrastructure details, hospital ownership proof, and application fee payment proof.
  • The MARB will evaluate applications based on the desirability and feasibility of the institution, compliance with MSR, and the sustainability of the institution.
  • The MARB can seek additional information and conduct assessments and inspections, including digital verification and physical assessments.
  • The MARB must communicate its decision within six months of receiving a complete application, and approved institutions will receive a letter of permission.
  • Medical institutions cannot increase seats without prior MARB permission, and applications for seat increases must include a CoA from the university and prescribed fees.
  • The MARB will conduct assessments and ratings of medical institutions, potentially using third-party agencies, based on compliance with standards, academic excellence, research output, student discipline, student feedback, and participation in academic activities.
  • Medical institutions must submit a Compulsory Annual Disclosure Report to UGMEB and/or PGMEB, with a copy to the MARB, after all students are admitted.
  • Failure to comply with regulations can result in warnings, monetary penalties (up to INR one crore per non-compliance), withholding application processing, reducing student numbers, stopping admissions, recommending withdrawal of recognition, and withholding ratings.
  • Appeals against MARB decisions can be filed with the National Medical Commission (NMC), and further appeals can be made to the Central Government.

Impact Analysis

Medical Institutions

  • Required to submit annual disclosure reports and maintain transparency in their operations.

Students

  • Directly impacted by the standards of teaching, infrastructure and clinical exposure.

Government (Central and State)
