NMC Delegates Routine Medical Faculty Eligibility Decisions to Colleges, Retains Review for Complex Cases
The National Medical Commission (NMC) has announced that medical colleges and appointing authorities will now determine routine eligibility for faculty appointments and promotions based on the Medical Institutions (Qualifications of Faculty) Regulations, 2025. The NMC will only review exceptional cases involving regulatory ambiguities, degree equivalence, or transitional provisions, which must be referred through institutional heads with a processing fee. This shift aims to streamline eligibility assessments and place responsibility on appointing bodies.
