The National Medical Commission (NMC) has released the “Guidelines on Assessment of Persons with Benchmark Disabilities (PwBD) for Admission to the Post Graduate Medical Courses, 2026”, introducing a structured and discipline-specific framework for assessing candidates seeking admission to postgraduate medical programmes.

The guidelines were issued on 16 September 2026 and are intended to establish a competency-based approach for evaluating PwBD candidates while supporting equality, non-discrimination and appropriate access to postgraduate medical education. The NMC notification states that the guidelines will come into force from the date of their publication by the Commission.

The framework outlines the scope, statutory basis, purpose and assessment requirements applicable to candidates with benchmark disabilities seeking admission to PG medical courses. It also specifies general eligibility requirements and documentation that candidates need to provide for consideration under the PwBD category.

A key feature of the new framework is its emphasis on discipline-specific and competency-driven assessment. Rather than relying only on the presence or percentage of disability, the assessment framework considers the requirements associated with postgraduate medical training and the competencies expected within different medical disciplines.

The move follows the NMC's broader efforts during 2026 to establish a more structured framework for PwBD candidates in medical education. Earlier, the Commission had issued guidelines for assessment of PwBD candidates seeking admission to MBBS courses, along with provisions concerning PwBD-enabling units in medical colleges.

The latest PG guidelines are particularly relevant to NEET-PG aspirants with benchmark disabilities, medical colleges, counselling authorities and disability-assessment bodies involved in postgraduate admissions. The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has also listed the final PwBD guidelines received from the NMC dated 16 September 2026 under its PG counselling notifications.

The introduction of a dedicated PG framework is expected to provide greater clarity to stakeholders involved in the assessment and admission process by establishing defined requirements for determining eligibility and assessing candidates in relation to the competencies of postgraduate medical training.

The guidelines form part of the NMC's continuing regulatory efforts to create a more standardised approach to disability assessment across medical education while addressing the specific requirements of postgraduate training.
