Hello,
UGC is the highest authority as far as higher education and the universities are concerned. No university can exist, let alone confer degrees to run colleges without the approval of UGC. Universities can be private, state, central, deemed etc but irrespective of their category, a university which is approved by the UGC and listed in their list on the official website is a genuine and legitimate university.
If you join a medical college not recognized by MCI, you simply can’t practice in India post completion of your course. You’ll not be allowed to take-up the MCI screening test.
MCI is the authority which will issue our registration certificate for practice. UGC is not concerned with a medical college but it is responsible for setting up the university.
Once you finish your MBBS, your name will be entered into state medical council register and Indian medical register with MCI. You will get a registration certificate.
UGC is not concerned with a medical college unless your college itself is a deemed university. Even in that case, your MBBS will be recognized.
Hope this helps.
