The NMC has issued an advisory to medical colleges and institutions nationwide, directing that no leave be granted to MBBS and other medical students on June 20 and 21.

**Only Emergency Leave Permitted**
The NMC's advisory instructs medical colleges and institutions not to grant leave to MBBS and other medical students on June 21 and 22. Colleges have been told not to grant routine leave to any student on these two days. However, leave may be granted in cases of emergency, provided there is a valid reason.

**Initiative for a Fair NEET Re-Examination**
By issuing this advisory, the NMC has cancelled the leave of MBBS and other medical students for June 21 and 22. The Commission clarified that these instructions are being issued following a communication from the Ministry of Education. The move aims to ensure the fair and smooth conduct of the NEET re-examination, and all medical colleges are required to strictly adhere to these directives. 

Involvement of medical students has come to light.
In an advisory, the NMC has clarified that the involvement of medical college students in suspicious exam-related activities has been observed in the past. Consequently, medical institutions and colleges need to remain vigilant. The NMC stated that the objective behind this directive is to prevent any irregularities and uphold the credibility of the examination process.
