The students and faculty members of Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Institute of Medical Excellence are troubled by a haunting question — how did the facility-rich college fail the inspection by the National Medical Commission (NMC)? Last week, the NMC withdrew the letter of permission granted to the college to run an MBBS course for 50 students, effectively shutting down the institute in the short run. A group of students told the media in Jammu that they were baffled by the NMC decision. ADVERTISEMENTAyesha, one of the disappointed students, said they were unlikely to find such facilities in any college in Jammu and Kashmir. A senior faculty member told The Telegraph that the NMC team could have easily ignored the deficiencies.
