National Medical Commission Limits Routine Faculty Eligibility Reviews for Medical Colleges
The National Medical Commission (NMC) will no longer process "routine" requests from faculty members and medical colleges for determining eligibility for teaching positions. The Post Graduate Medical Education Board (PGMEB) stated that the responsibility for assessing eligibility now primarily rests with the appointing authority, such as the medical institution or university, using the provisions of the Medical Institutions (Qualifications of Faculty) Regulations, 2025. More complicated cases will still be referred to the NMC but must be submitted through an institution, accompanied by a fee of ₹25,000. This shift aims to streamline the process and empower institutions.
