| 1. Objective and route definition | Record the institution type, programme or service scope, proposed state, award or affiliation route, target intake objective and intended operating model. | Do not commit to a site, course, intake or launch date until the applicable authority route is identified. |
| 2. Promoter and feasibility review | Review legal entity, governance, funding capacity, land or building status, hospital or clinical-training model, demand assumptions and material project risks. | Management accepts, changes or stops the proposal based on an evidence-led feasibility note. |
| 3. Current-source requirement matrix | Map the selected route to live official regulations, guidelines, portal instructions, state procedures and time-sensitive notices. | Every numerical requirement is linked to a current source before it becomes a design or procurement instruction. |
| 4. Design and resource planning | Translate the verified requirement matrix into layouts, departments, laboratories, library, equipment, staffing, utilities, safety and student or patient flows. | Architectural and procurement decisions remain with the promoter and appointed licensed professionals. |
| 5. Application-file preparation | Build a controlled document index, declarations, ownership records, drawings, staff files, equipment evidence, clinical linkage records and portal-ready data. | The applicant verifies every statement, signature, attachment and financial commitment before submission. |
| 6. Physical and inspection readiness | Conduct room-by-room and department-by-department checks, document retrieval drills, staff briefing and a deficiency closure cycle. | A paper file is not treated as complete where the corresponding room, person, equipment or operating system is absent. |
| 7. Authority observations and closure | Classify observations, assign owners, record root cause, implement corrections and assemble truthful closure evidence within the applicable process. | The authority alone decides whether the response is accepted and whether permission, affiliation or recognition is issued. |
| 8. Commissioning and continuing compliance | Create calendars for faculty or manpower continuity, academic or operating records, maintenance, reporting, renewals and future inspections. | Approval is treated as the start of continuing obligations, not the end of the project. |
