  • the NMC may grant a limited license to certain mid-level practitioners connected with the modern medical profession to practice medicine.
  • There will be a uniform National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test for admission to under-graduate and post-graduate super-speciality medical education in all medical institutions regulated under the Act.
