Medical colleges to decide own faculty appointments, promotions: National Medical Commission
Medical colleges can now decide faculty appointments and promotions independently under the National Medical Commission's new policy.
The NMC has ended routine eligibility clearances, only reviewing exceptional cases with regulatory ambiguity for a fee of Rs 25,000 plus GST.
The Post-Graduate Medical Education Board will no longer handle cases where eligibility can be determined directly under existing regulations.
Applicants dissatisfied with an institution's decision can seek a review within 30 days.
The change aims to improve institutional accountability and reduce unnecessary referrals and litigation.
