Website review: 30 September 2026. Committee and curriculum listings, Pharmacology faculty page, faculty-development portal, undergraduate course page, college disclosures, CME page and contact directory were reviewed.
- Coordinator correction: Dr. Ranjita Santra (Dhali) is no longer associated with DMGMCH and is displayed as a former coordinator. Older website listings are retained only as historical sources; tenure dates are to be updated.
- Committee tenure and current reconstitution order: upcoming. The roster has been amended to reflect the confirmed departure.
- Further previous-coordinator details, allocated Nodal / Regional Centre, dedicated MEU room, equipment inventory and signed activity reports: not located in the reviewed pages.
- The homepage and committee page name different Principals. The officer-in-charge is therefore shown by designation pending confirmation.
- The faculty portal uses “BCBE”; this page retains the NMC term BCME. Programme titles and completion status should follow the original certificates.
