NMC withdraws newly announced MBBS curriculum

The National Medical Commission (NMC) on Thursday announced the withdrawal of its recently released Competency Based Medical Education (CBME) guidelines, 2024. The new medical curriculum was announced on August 31. The cancellation of the new medical curriculum comes after rights activists and experts criticised the reinstatement of several topics in the forensic medicine and toxicology



curriculum which could be controversial for MBBS students. 

In the notice issued on Thursday (September 5), the Commission said, “It is informed that the Circular issuing Guidelines under Competency-Based Medical Education Curriculum 2024 (CBME-2024) , stands withdrawn and cancelled with immediate effect. The above guidelines will be revised and uploaded in due course.”
