KUHS warns students against enroling on unrecognised medical, health science courses
The Kerala University of Health Sciences (KUHS) has issued an advisory warning students and parents to verify the accreditation of medical and health science courses. The university noted that many institutions are offering unrecognised programs without proper statutory approvals.
Why it matters
This warning aims to protect students from investing in fraudulent or non-accredited education that would prevent them from practicing in professional medical fields.
The Kerala University of Health Sciences (KUHS) has cautioned students and parents against enroling on unrecognised medical and health-science courses offered in Kerala, other States and abroad.
Issuing an advisory on Friday (July 17, 2026), KUHS Vice-Chancellor Mohanan Kunnummal urged aspirants to verify the legal status of institutions and the recognition of various academic programmes before enroling.
“Students and parents should not rely solely on advertisements or promotional claims made by institutions. They should independently verify the recognition status of both the institution and the programme with the university concerned and the regulatory authorities,” he said.
