On 1 January 2014 the NMC barred the college from enrolling students and Tribhuvan University stopped admissions.[3] In July 2015, students from the college that were worried about their future protested in Katmandu.[5] After numerous failed attempts by various managements to stabilize the college, the college was finally bought by Mr. OP Pandey with full ownership at a price of around 100 crores. At the time of purchase, Mr. Pandey assured to reopen the college and pay all outstanding salaries and dues. Soon after, both hospitals resumed regular operations and the college has since operated unimpeded with student admission reinstated by Tribhuvan University and Nepal Medical Council.
