State accreditation · decided 29 May 2026

Medical schools that failed state accreditation in 2026

13 institutions did not pass the Ministry of Health's assessment in May 2026. Their licences were suspended from 7 Sep 2026, and their students were reassigned to other universities under Ministry Order No. 912 of 3 Aug 2026. None of them can take a new student. Several still advertise, and some agents still sell seats in them.

What happened, in order

  1. 29 May 2026 The accreditation commission decides; results published 4 Jun 2026.
  2. 8 Jun 2026 The Embassy of India circulates the full decision with programmes.
  3. 13 Jul 2026 The Embassy advises students to avoid failed and one-year institutions.
  4. 3 Aug 2026 Order No. 912 assigns the students of each failed school to a named receiving university.
  5. 7 Sep 2026 Licences of the failed institutions are suspended.

If you are already a student there

Order 912 names a receiving university for each failed school; the line "students to ..." on each card below is taken from it. Your records and fees paid are a matter between you, the old institution and the receiving one, and reports in September 2026 described more than two thousand Indian students waiting for clarity from the NMC about how a transferred degree will be treated. Keep every receipt, enrolment letter and transcript.

Read the full guide: what to do if your university failed: where each school's students go under Orders 912 and 1074, the procedure and deadlines, fees, and the open NMC question.

Common questions

Can a university that failed accreditation still admit students?

No. The Cabinet ruled in August 2026 that no medical school may admit new students without state accreditation, the Embassy of India wrote on 29 April 2026 that failed institutions lose the right to enrol and to issue state diplomas, and their licences for medical programmes were suspended from 7 September 2026. An offer letter from one of the 13 is not an admission.

Will the failed universities be re-accredited?

The Ministry of Health said on 8 September 2026 that re-accreditation of medical universities is planned but that no timeline has been set. The amended procedure allows an extraordinary accreditation on request. Nothing has been published since; this page records any change with its date.

What happens to students who were already enrolled?

They were moved to accredited universities under Order No. 912 of 3 August 2026, amended by Order No. 1074 of 14 September. The receiving university for each school is on its card above, and the full procedure, deadlines, fees and the open NMC question are in the guide for students of failed schools.
