Medical college is real or fake?
Most medical courses are completed in 3-5 years. For such a long and difficult course, it is necessary to verify it before taking admission in the medical college.
Check National Medical Commission (NMC) website
The National Medical Commission (NMC), who was earlier the Medical Council of India (MCI), is the most reliable source to confirm the validity of the Medical College in India. NMC releases the list of all recognized medical colleges on its official website (NMC.ORG.IN).
How to check:
1- visit the NMC website and visit the ‘List of Recognized Medical College’ or ‘Undergraduate/Postgraduate Courses’ section.
3- Check the college recognition period and number of seats. If the medical college is not in the list, then it can be suspicious.
Verify the university’s account
Valid medical colleges are affiliated to a recognized university. The college website or NMC list is named the concerned university.
How to check:
1- See the name of the university on the official website of the college.
3- Check the university recognition on the University Grants Commission (UGC) website (UgC.AC.IN).
Check NEET counseling process
Admission in MBBS, BDS and other medical courses in India is only through NEET UG/PG/SS score and counseling. Those who conduct this counseling of the Medical Counseling Committee (MCC) or the State Counseling Authority.
1- See the list of college on MCC website (mxnic.in) or state counseling website (eg, acpugmec.guj.nic.in in Gujarat).
2- If the medical college is not included in counseling then it can be fake.
Example: MBBS admission in BJ Medical College is on the basis of NEET UG score and Gujarat NEET counseling.
Check college website and infrastructure
There is an official website of a valid medical college, which contains information about courses, departments, fees and facilities.
How to check:
1- Check the authenticity of information by visiting the college website (eg, bjmcabd.edu.in).
3- See reviews and ranking (eg, Nirf).
Check Hospital and Faculty
Valid medical colleges have a hostel and qualified faculty affiliated by NMC.
1- Check the affiliated hospital (eg, Civil Hospital, Ahmedabad of BJ Medical College).
2- See the recognition and bed capacity of the hospital on the NMC website.
4- Fake colleges often have insufficient infrastructure and unqualified staff.
Students reviews will work
Reviews of students and X students of real colleges are available online.
How to do:
1- Read reviews on platforms like Shiksha.com, CAREERS360 or JustDial. BJ Medical College has received 4.8/5 ratings.
3- Check posts related to college on social media like X. But take precautions because they are not always reliable.
Work talk
2- Do not trust agents: Many fake agents give wrong information for benefits.
4- Recent examples: There have been cases of fake documents in NRI quota in Madhya Pradesh, which show the seriousness of the fraud.
