Maharashtra, [Date], 2024 – The State Government of Maharashtra in consultation with Maharashtra Medical Council has announced significant amendments to the Maharashtra Medical Council Act, 1965.

This development marks a significant milestone in the re-recognition and validation of the academic programs offered by this esteemed institution.

Today our belief has been validated, all 10 NMC approved courses are now re-recognised by the Government of Maharashtra. With this notification not only CPS but the entire alumni of CPS and the future students have received justice , which was long due. This order will also benefit the healthcare system of the state.
