What Is the Scheme?

- Private promoters, trusts, and societies meeting National Medical Commission (NMC) requirements
- Projects located in a district currently on the notified "unserved districts" list

- Commitment to commence operations within a defined period
How to Apply
- Confirm your target district is currently on the notified "unserved districts" list โ this list changes as colleges are established

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this scheme be used in Gautam Buddh Nagar?
No. The district already has medical education infrastructure, so it falls outside this scheme's purpose and is not on the unserved-districts list.
Does the list of eligible districts stay fixed?
No โ it changes over time as private medical colleges get established in previously unserved districts and fall off the list. Always check the current notified list before advising a promoter.
