The ‘Minimum Requirements for Annual MBBS Admissions Regulations, 2020’, will come into force on the date of their publication in the official gazette and will be applicable for medical colleges being established from the academic session 2021-22 onwards.

The preamble to the draft regulations laid down the reasons as to why such a document is needed. “There is a necessity to re-cast medical education and training to enable the Medical Graduate to be able to effectively discharge their role as a physician in this changing world. The new demands on medical education also necessitate redefining the standards,” it said.
