The withdrawal of affiliation of Chintpurni Medical College and Hospital (CMCH), Pathankot, by Baba Farid University of Health Sciences (BFUHS) has left about 300 MBBS students in a quandary.

During inspection of Chintpurni Medical College and Hospital on February 17, some deficiencies were noticed
Baba Farid University of Health Sciences later ordered the withdrawal of affiliation of the college
The BFUHS has temporarily withdrawn the affiliation of the college for the session 2023-2024 after it noticed deficiencies during a surprise inspection on February 17.

Withdrawing the affiliation, the university said the college would not be allowed to admit students to the MBBS course during 2023-2024 session as it had failed to comply with various provisions governing the affiliation.

After the BFUHS order, the CMCH moved the Punjab and Haryana High Court, alleging that 300 first and second year MBBS students could not register for the examination as the university had closed the portal for the college after withdrawing its affiliation.
