# Doctor Seeks NMC to Revise PwBD Guidelines for NEET PG 2026-10-14T13:32:31+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet A doctor has written to the National Medical Commission (NMC) seeking an urgent revision of the Guidelines on Assessment of Persons with Benchmark Disabilities (PwBD) for Admission to the Post Graduate Medical Courses, 2026. The representation argues that the current framework uses functional competency instead of an impairment-based approach. The representation has been jointly submitted by Dr. Satendra Singh, Founder of Doctors with Disabilities: Agents of Change (DwDAoC), and iProbono India, a social justice organisation. The plea calls for a shift in how disabilities are assessed for NEET PG admissions. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Dr. Satendra Singh and iProbono India have challenged the NMC's 2026 PwBD guidelines for NEET PG admissions, arguing that an impairment-based assessment would be fairer than the current functional competency model. The shift they propose could directly affect how benchmark disabilities are measured for postgraduate medical seats. The NMC has not yet responded publicly, and the next step is whether the commission will open the guidelines for revision. ## Coverage - medicaldialogues.in Straight news report of the representation without added slant This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
