Colleges free to prescribe higher qualification, recruit faculties only with medical qualifications: NMC

The National Medical Commission (NMC) has clarified that medical colleges are “free to prescribe higher qualification which includes recruiting only those with medical qualification” while appointing for the position of Tutors/Demonstrators.

NMC Postgraduate Medical Education Board (PGMEB) issued this clarification in response to a grievance filed by the non-medical teachers, who highlighted the violation of NMC Teachers Eligibility Qualifications (TEQ) 2022 guidelines by an Agra-based medical college while recruiting Tutors/Demonstrators.
