NMC Sets June 3 Deadline for Annual Disclosure Report Submission by Medical Colleges Running PG Courses

New Delhi, May 23, 2025 — The Postgraduate Medical Education Board (PGMEB) of the National Medical Commission (NMC) has issued a directive mandating all medical colleges and institutes offering postgraduate (PG) medical courses to submit their Annual Disclosure Report (ADR) for the academic year 2024 by June 3, 2025, 6:00 PM. This move is part of NMC’s ongoing efforts to uphold and monitor the standards of medical education across India.

Key Requirements for Submission

• Fee Structure: Each PG course ADR submission must be accompanied by a fee of ₹50,000 plus 18% GST, payable exclusively through the designated NMC portal. Payments made through any other mode will be considered invalid.

• Submission Process: Colleges are required to upload the ADRs via the NMC’s official portal. The submission involves a stepwise process:

  1. Uploading Standard Assessment Form (SAF) Part-A, which includes institutional information.

  2. Uploading SAF Part-B, which covers details specific to each broad or super-specialty course.

  3. Payment of the ADR fee through the portal’s dedicated link.

  4. Final submission of the completed forms1.

• Forms and Data: The ADR consists of two parts:

  • Part A: Institutional Information, common for all PG specialties.

  • Part B: Specialty-specific details for each broad or super-specialty course.
    If a specialty-specific form is unavailable, colleges are instructed to use the Master SAF FORM-B.

• Reporting Period: All data, including clinical material, investigative workload, and faculty attendance, must pertain to the calendar year 2024 (January 1 to December 31).

• Eligibility Criteria: Only faculty members and senior residents who fulfill the attendance requirements for 2024 should be reported in the submission.

Regulatory Background

The directive is issued under the Maintenance of Standards of Medical Education Regulations, 2023 (MSMER-2023), which obligates all medical colleges and institutions to furnish an annual disclosure report to the relevant NMC board. This ensures transparency and compliance with the standards set by the commission for both undergraduate and postgraduate medical education17.

Official Statement

In the official notice dated May 20, 2025, the NMC emphasized the strict adherence to the prescribed process and deadline. NMC Secretary Dr. Raghav Langer, in a communication to the principals and deans of all medical colleges, reiterated the importance of timely submission and compliance with the regulations.

“All the Medical Colleges/ Institutes running PG Medical Courses are directed to fill in the relevant forms and submit the same along with the requisite fee… on the designated NMC’s portal for this purpose. The payment of fees by colleges shall be strictly restricted through designated window on NMC portal and payment through any other mode will be treatedas Null/Void, the NMC stated in its notice1.

Access to Forms and Further Information

The required forms for submission are available on the NMC website under the Information Desk > Download Application Forms section. For specialties without a dedicated form, the Master SAF FORM-B should be used.

Implications

Failure to submit the ADR within the stipulated deadline may have regulatory consequences for the concerned institutions, as the NMC has previously flagged colleges for lapses in compliance with annual reporting requirements.
