5 Reasons Why JN Medical College AMU Should Be Derecognized

MCI has announced de-recognition of 11 colleges and JNMC AMU is one of the college that is the most desirable candidate for de-recognition Here is the reason, why:

1. JNMC doesn't treat Inspectors in 5 star hotels as the counterparts do, even if they do not fulfill 1/4 of the staff requirements.
2. JNMC doesn't provide worth thousands of free shopping and gifts to the inspectors, pays more attention to the patients treatment and input instead.
3. JMNC doesnt keep fake staff, sometimes who are in a different continent altogether, as done by some other colleges.
4. JMNC doesn't show fake number of patients and cases.
5. JNMC doesn't take admission to candidates who are not upto par with the knowledge required to pursue a medical course.

MCI will never de-recognize colleges which actually lack the requirements, they will do it only if they do not fulfill to the whims of the inspectors.
