Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has assured that the government will accommodate students affected by the closure of Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Medical College by adjusting them in other institutions. He asserted that students’ education will not be allowed to suffer.
The Chief Minister also said that accountability must be fixed if standards are not maintained at the Medical College.
The Chief Minister also said that the Jammu and Kashmir government will not withdraw the grant-in-aid provided to Shri Mata Vaishno Devi University.
The order issued by the MARB on Tuesday evening said that all students admitted to the college during the counselling for the 2025-26 academic year shall be accommodated in other medical institutions in Jammu and Kashmir as supernumerary seats by the competent authority of the UT administration.
There has been no official communication from the medical college so far.
The faculty members said the NMC findings can be contested point-by-point and “everyone knows what led to the inspection and the subsequent decision, especially in view of the unrest created in the Jammu region”.
