(c)to(e): The Central Council of Indian Medicine (CCIM) did not permit the Ayurvedic & Unani Tibbia College, New Delhi to take admission in Moalijat subject in the post-graduate course for the session 2003 - 2004, as the college did not fulfil the minimum prescribed standards. However, the admission in M.D. Unani (Moalijat)had already been made for the session 2003- 2004 by the time communication was received from the CCIM. The Principal, Ayurveda & Unani Tibbia College has informed the CCIM that steps are being taken to rectify the shortcomings.
