# NBEMS tightens medical admission rules, introduces 11 new PG courses 2026-08-07T11:53:34+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) has revised accreditation and admission rules for PG and fellowship courses, and launched 11 new programmes. Accredited hospitals must now create a dedicated 'NBEMS Mandatory Disclosures' section on their websites, listing faculty, infrastructure, bed occupancy and stipend details. This information must be updated every quarter. Non-compliance can affect accreditation and seat allocation in centralised counselling. NBEMS has also tightened document verification: hospitals that admit candidates without proper checks through the Online Portal for Joining and Registration (OPJR) face a Rs 1 lakh penalty per candidate. The new courses include Diploma in Nuclear Medicine, DNB Trauma and Acute Care Surgery, DrNB Paediatric Hemato Oncology, and several fellowships in surgery, immunology and pulmonology. Institutions seeking accreditation for DrNB and FNB courses must now have at least three years of operation as clinical establishments, news.abplive.com reports. ## Coverage - news.abplive.com Tags: accreditation, healthcare education, medical admissions, NBEMS, PG courses, transparency Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/nbems-tightens-medical-admission-rules-introduces-11-new-pg-courses/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
