The National Medical Commission had proposed 100% centralised admissions in medical institutes across the country for single-step counselling process. The purpose behind introducing a centralised system for counselling is to bring uniformity to the process. Since the counselling system is not centralised, there are often complaints about delays and precious medical seats left vacant in the end. This would promote merit and transparency and weed out agents and deal-makers who auction medical seats. It will also avoid wastage of MBBS seats and will prevent meritorious students from blocking multiple seats. And merit should be the only criteria. This may weed out corruption from the corridors of medical education institutes. Most of the medical educational institutions are not cash cows they are golden egg laying ducks. Some of the colleges in states are not following the criteria, including proper camera installation, Aadhaar linked biometric facility and their functioning. Many posts in the faculties were also found vacant. The NMC aims to protect the interests of aspiring doctors and maintain the integrity of the medical profession.
