It’s no secret that the majority haven’t followed rules and qualifications. All this comes from the excessive corruption rampant in India’s multiple accreditation bodies, which are responsible for approving such educational institutions. Of the 13 existing councils, five are extremely corrupt. Of these, the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) and the now-defunct Medical Council of India (MCI), the two highest bodies for accrediting engineering and medical colleges in India, are among the most corrupt organisations in the country.

Medical/ Dental council of India- Powers Curtailed ?
The revised draft of the proposed National Council of Human Resources in Health (NCHRH) Bill paves the way for substantially curtailing the powers of the Medical Council of India (MCI) leaving it to deal only with licensing, continuing education and ethics.
It is proposed to establish a National Committee for Accreditation (NCA) and a National Medical Education and Training Board that will register and accredit medical colleges and prepare the curriculum for all streams of education in the health sector respectively.
The existing councils, including medical, dental, nursing, pharmacy, Central Council of Indian Medicine and Central Council of Homoeopathy, are proposed to be re-established with the responsibilities of registering professionally qualified persons in their respective disciplines, maintaining State and National Registers of professionals and highest standards of professional conduct and ethics among professionals.
