Jammu, January 6, 2026:


Senior BJP leader and President, J&K BJP and Member of Parliament, Shri Sat Sharma, along with Shri Baldev Singh Billawaria, General Secretary, J&K BJP, addressed a press conference today at the BJP J&K Headquarters, Trikuta Nagar, Jammu.

Speaking to media persons and DD News, Shri Sat Sharma said that the National Medical Commission (NMC), through its Medical Assessment and Rating Board (MARB), has withdrawn the Letter of Permission (LoP) granted to the Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Institute of Medical Excellence, Kakryal, Reasi, for running the MBBS course with 50 seats for the academic session 2025–26. The decision has come into immediate effect.

He informed that on January 2, 2026, the NMC had deputed an assessment team for a surprise inspection of the institute. During the inspection, the team found serious deficiencies and widespread irregularities, leading to the derecognition of the institution. The inspection revealed non-compliance with the minimum standards prescribed by the National Medical Commission.

Shri Sat Sharma stated that due to prolonged irregularities at the medical college, the overall environment in Jammu had become disturbed. Several complaints were received from students and other stakeholders regarding inadequate facilities, including deficiencies in laboratories, library infrastructure, inpatient and outpatient services, ICU facilities, delivery wards, and other essential medical services.

Terming the NMC’s final decision as justified and in the larger public interest, Shri Sat Sharma said that strict action was necessary to safeguard the quality of medical education and patient care. He welcomed the decision and thanked the NMC for taking a firm stand against irregularities.

He also expressed gratitude to BJP National President Shri J.P. Nadda for his leadership and support, stating that corrective steps taken at the highest level reflect the party’s commitment to transparency and accountability in medical education.

To protect the academic future of students already admitted for the 2025–26 session, Shri Sat Sharma said that the NMC has authorised the State/UT authorities to accommodate the affected students in other government medical colleges within Jammu and Kashmir. These students will be adjusted as supernumerary seats, strictly in accordance with applicable norms.

He added that the BJP will ensure that all 50 students who were allotted seats at the SMVD Medical College are smoothly shifted to government medical colleges in Jammu and Kashmir, so that their careers do not suffer due to institutional lapses.

The withdrawal of permission comes amid ongoing controversy and protests related to admissions at the institute, which had admitted its inaugural batch through the NEET examination.
