In a communication dated November 11, its Anti-Ragging Cell referred to a complaint concerning students of the 2026-27 batch and said it had taken a serious view of the allegations, which suggested a pattern of misconduct involving senior students, Careers360 reported.

According to the complaint, first-year students were allegedly forced to perform degrading postures, imitate sexual activities, dance to item songs and change clothes in front of other students, and were allegedly subjected to abusive language and humiliation. It was also alleged that, after the White Coat Ceremony on October 30, students were taken to a private premises associated with a senior student, where they faced coercive interactions and intimidation. These are allegations in a complaint, not established findings.

The complaint also referred to an alleged late-night ragging incident at around 1 a.m. involving a first-year student, who reportedly could not attend college the following day. No student is being named in this report.

The NMC has asked the college to provide CCTV footage, WhatsApp messages, call records, student statements, signed minutes of Anti-Ragging Committee meetings and details of preventive measures, and to clarify whether earlier complaints had been received and whether its Anti-Ragging Committee has begun an inquiry. It has also sought information on any police complaint, counselling, medical aid and protective measures for affected students.

The Times of India reported that this is the 14th ragging complaint from medical colleges across Rajasthan since early October, and that only two institutions, in Barmer and Jodhpur, have so far initiated action against those found involved. Careers360 said it had reached out to Government Medical College, Banswara, for comment and its response was awaited.
