A dental college was told to stop BDS and MDS admissions after its tie-up hospital fell outside the required 10 km by road limit. The distance grew to 16 km when a highway was widened. The college challenged the order and the penalty. This matters because institutions must keep meeting regulatory distance rules as infrastructure changes.
Key Statutory Highlights
- Regulators directed a dental college to stop BDS and MDS admissions for 2026-2027 onwards and imposed a penalty of Rs. 2 crores.
- The college's tie-up hospital was originally within 10 km radius, but after road widening the distance by road became 16 km.
- The distance rule changed from 10 km radius to 10 km by road, yet the college's permission was renewed for 2018 to 2020 despite non-compliance.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:If you run a regulated college or similar institution, check that your tie-up facilities still meet current distance norms, especially after road or infrastructure changes.
