As per the Provisions of Indian Medical Council (IMC) Act 1956 and Regulations made thereunder, permission for establishment of a Medical College is granted initially for a period of one year. The permitted medical colleges have to get yearly renewal permission till the first batch of students appear in final year examination and the course is recognized. For this purpose the MCI conducts yearly inspection of the colleges and makes its recommendation to the Central Government. Colleges found deficient in terms of faculty, residents, clinical material and other facilities for proper functioning of medical college and for offering minimum standard of medical education are not given renewal permission/recognition. 54 Medical Colleges were not granted renewal permission for the year 2017-18.

Subsequently, the High Court dismissed the Writ Petition on 20.04.2016 and ordered the College to refund the entire amount collected from the students towards fee and other expenses. Petitions challenging the order of the High Court were also dismissed by the Supreme Court. As such admission of those students into MBBS Course for the year 2015-16 stood cancelled.
The Minister of State (Health and Family Welfare), Sh Ashwini Kumar Choubey stated this in a written reply in the Lok Sabha here today.
