Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College (JNMC), commonly searched as JNMC Wardha, is a private medical college located in Sawangi (Meghe), Wardha, Maharashtra. Established in 1990, it functions as a constituent college of Datta Meghe Institute of Higher Education and Research (DMIHER), a deemed-to-be-university that received that status from the UGC in 2005 and was renamed from Datta Meghe Institute of Medical Sciences (DMIMS) to DMIHER following a UGC notification cleared in September 2022. JNMC offers MBBS at the undergraduate level along with postgraduate MD/MS and super-specialty programmes, with clinical training delivered through its attached teaching hospital, Acharya Vinoba Bhave Rural Hospital (AVBRH).

JNMC offers the MBBS undergraduate programme, a 5.5-year course including a compulsory one-year rotating internship, leading to NMC-recognised registration. Admission is NEET-UG based; MBBS seats are filled through the Medical Counselling Committee's (MCC) central counselling for deemed universities, which allocates seats under the NRI and deemed/paid-seat quotas rather than a state quota. The 2025 admission cycle allotted 250 MBBS seats at this college (38 NRI, 212 deemed/paid) per the official government seat matrix.
Beyond MBBS, JNMC also offers postgraduate MD/MS courses and super-specialty DM/M.Ch. programmes, along with PhD research in clinical and basic medical sciences, though exact current-year seat counts for these postgraduate and super-specialty tracks could not be confirmed from an official DMIHER document at the time of writing.
DMIHER, the deemed university under which JNMC operates, was ranked 20th in the Medical category of NIRF India Rankings 2025, with an overall score of 62.37, confirmed directly on nirfindia.org. This ranking and the university's NAAC A++ accreditation are held at the DMIHER level rather than issued separately to JNMC as an individual college.
DMIHER's Sawangi (Meghe) campus in Wardha includes academic facilities shared across its constituent colleges, such as a library and digital library, hi-tech classrooms, computer labs, and a School of Experiential Learning and Simulation Centre, alongside campus amenities like a cafeteria, food court, gymnasium, and sports facilities (volleyball court, futsal turfs, football grounds). Clinical training for JNMC students takes place at the adjoining Acharya Vinoba Bhave Rural Hospital. Specific hostel capacity and room-tariff details were not independently confirmed from an official document at the time of writing.
