However, the enclosed Seat Matrix does not include the seats in respect of applications received for an increase in intake of existing PG courses or for the commencement of new PG courses for the Academic Year 2026–27.

The Commission has stated that additional PG seats/courses, wherever approved subsequently, shall be incorporated in a subsequent updated Seat Matrix and published on the official website of the National Medical Commission.

The NMC has directed all concerned stakeholders, including medical colleges, institutions and counselling committees, to carefully examine the published seat matrix. Any discrepancy, error, omission or inconsistency in the matrix must be brought to the notice of the President, MARB, or the Director, MARB, for examination and clarification.

The Commission has also warned medical colleges and institutions against admitting students beyond their approved intake capacity. Such admissions will be considered a violation of the National Medical Commission Act, 2019, and the regulations framed under it, and may invite appropriate regulatory and penal action against the defaulting institution as per applicable law.
