According to the news agency Kashmir News Observer (KNO), the protesters want the medical college to become operational and admissions to start without further delay. They clarified that their appeal was not directed against any individual or institution. Instead, they want the authorities to resolve the pending approval issue.
Kashmir Medical College Admissions Await NMC Clearance
The MBBS aspirants said the college’s LoP had remained pending for the past five months. The prolonged wait has left prospective students concerned about their academic future and the possibility of admissions starting on time.
One of the students said the group had already approached the High Court in September. They also received a favourable hearing on October 27. However, the required permission remains unresolved.
The protesters said they were seeking a decision from the concerned authorities rather than targeting anyone over the delay. They stressed that the college must receive the necessary clearance so that its admission process can move forward.
Students Seek Action Before November 16 Deadline
The approaching November 16 deadline has added to the concerns of students and parents. They also pointed out that the next court hearing is scheduled for November 20.
With these dates approaching, the group urged the authorities to intervene and facilitate the NMC approval at the earliest. They said further delays could affect aspiring medical students who are waiting for an opportunity to pursue their MBBS education at the institution.
The protesters appealed for an early resolution, saying the future of students remained at stake. They want the pending Letter of Permission issued so that Kashmir Medical College admissions can begin without further uncertainty.
