The National Medical Commission (NMC) has issued a fresh clarification for medical colleges and institutions that had applied to the Medical Assessment and Rating Board (MARB) for establishing new medical colleges for Academic Year 2026-27.
Key Update
Institutions that applied to MARB for setting up a new medical college for AY 2026-27 and now wish to appeal against MARB’s decision must log in to the Online Appeal Portal using the same Email ID and Password they used while submitting their original MARB application. No fresh registration is required.
Why This Matters
NMC has already made it mandatory for all appeals against decisions of MARB, UGMEB, and PGMEB to be filed exclusively through the Online Appeal Portal at application.nmc.org.in/login. The earlier practice of filing appeals via email or any other channel stands discontinued.
Colleges are advised to carefully go through the Terms & Conditions and User Manual on the portal before filing, as appeals are frequently rejected as deficient due to:
- Wrong provision of the NMC Act being cited
- Missing supporting documents
- Filing before the wrong authority
Appeal Filing Process at a Glance
- Log in with User ID, Password and Captcha
- Click “Add New Appeal” to start a draft application
- Verify auto-fetched college details
- Select the Board (MARB/UGMEB/PGMEB), relevant Section of the NMC Act, Academic Year and Course
- Upload the impugned order and appeal letter (PDF format)
- Upload supplementary documents, if any (Show Cause Notice, Compliance Report, etc.)
- Accept the declaration and proceed to payment
Appeal Fee: ₹50,000 + 18% GST = ₹59,000 (one-time, non-refundable), payable via Card/UPI/Net Banking/NEFT/RTGS.
Who Should Check This Notice
Institutions that applied to MARB for new medical college establishment for AY 2026-27 and are planning to appeal MARB’s decision should note this credential requirement before attempting to log in to the portal.
