This public notice was issued on April 19, 2025.
In a public notice, the EMRB acknowledged receiving representations from candidates who were unable to submit their applications for the Eligibility Certificate before the previous deadline of April 9, 2025, due to technical issues. Considering the career prospects of these applicants, the EMRB has decided to grant an additional window for submission.
Candidates desirous of obtaining the Eligibility Certificate can now submit their applications online through the National Medical Commission’s website according to the following schedule:
| Processes | Timelines |
|---|---|
| Online Submission of Application | 22 April, 2025 (10:00 AM Onwards) |

The EMRB has explicitly stated that incomplete applications in any form will not be processed and will be summarily rejected. The NMC will not be held responsible for such rejections. Following this extended deadline, the application portal will be permanently closed.
The NMC has strongly advised candidates not to wait until the last date to apply and to submit their applications as early as possible to avoid any potential last-minute technical issues.
Candidates are also reminded that the issuance of an Eligibility Certificate involves a comprehensive verification process to ascertain eligibility based on the prevailing regulations.
