The National Medical Commission (NMC) is the regulatory body responsible for overseeing medical education and medical colleges in India. While the National Testing Agency conducts the NEET UG exam, the NMC defines policies related to medical education, eligibility criteria, curriculum standards, and recognition of medical colleges. The NMC also sets guidelines for admissions to MBBS programs, regulates the number of seats in medical colleges, and ensures that institutions meet the required educational standards.
