Candidates should ensure that the information entered in the application matches their original documents. Any discrepancy or incorrect information could lead to complications during processing.
NMC has advised applicants to exercise due diligence while submitting their forms and ensure that their mobile numbers remain active. The commission has clarified that the listed measures are suggestive and not exhaustive.
Candidates should therefore carefully read the official NMC notice and follow all instructions applicable to their application before submission.
