The college/institution that meets all of the criteria will be instructed to submit a completed and signed sworn affidavit, as well as a self-assessment form. Here’s an overview of the various recognised criteria for reviewing the application process-
Under AEBAS and Compliance Submission process:
- If a medical college/institution meets all of the criteria outlined in Step 1, they must submit/upload a completed and signed sworn affidavit as well as a self-assessment form (which is internally assessed by the College). This submission should be made within a specified timeframe by the inspected department’s Dean/Principal, Nodal Officer, and Head of Department, preferably with digital signatures on EACH page.
- However, if a medical college/institution does not meet all or any of the criteria listed in Step 1, they will be issued a Show Cause Notice (SCN) to correct the deficiencies. They must conduct a self-assessment to reconsider the number of requested seats under the PG-Medical Education Regulation 2000. Following that, they must submit/upload a completed and signed compliance report by the Dean/Principal, Nodal Officer, and HOD of the inspected department, preferably with digital signatures on EACH page, within a specific timeframe.
- If the compliance report meets the requirements, the College will be instructed to submit/upload a completed and signed sworn affidavit, as well as a self-assessment form (which the College will internally assess). The Dean/Principal and HOD of the inspected department should make this submission within a specified timeframe, preferably with digital signatures on EACH page.
To enhance transparency in decision-making, the notice states:
Regarding the final decision
- MARB will communicate its permission or otherwise to the medical college/institution within the specified timeframe.
- For eligible entities with verified bank guarantee and/or undertaking, Letter of Permission (LOP) will be issued in accordance with section 28(3) of the NMC Act, 2019.
- However, for eligible entities that have not submitted a bank guarantee and/or undertaking at the time of application, a Letter of Intent (LOI) will be issued first, followed by the issuance of Letter of Permission (LOP) after receipt and verification of the bank guarantee and/or undertaking.
Additionally, the notice clarified that the compliance report, affidavit, self-assessment, and AEBAS data will be reviewed by the college authority. MARB will communicate its decision to the medical college/institution within the defined timeline.
