NMC threatens 7 medical colleges with Rs 1 crore fines for not submitting stipend data

According to the notice, medical colleges must submit details of stipends paid to MBBS interns, junior residents, and senior residents. The information has to be submitted through the NMC online portal and should also be made public so that students and authorities can easily access it.

NMC asks colleges to disclose stipend data

The commission said that sharing this information is part of efforts to improve monitoring of medical colleges and ensure they follow the rules for internship and residency training.

“A medical internship is a compulsory part of the MBBS programme. During this period, graduates must complete clinical training in hospitals before receiving their final registration, and interns are entitled to stipends as per the rules set by the concerned authorities,” the NMC said.

“Similarly, postgraduate medical students working as resident doctors also receive stipends while undergoing training in teaching hospitals attached to medical colleges,” the statement added.
