Shortage of Faculty in Medical Colleges

The requirement of teaching faculty in any medical college and other disciplines of medical sciences is determined by the regulations framed by the respective professional Councils. An institution is given recognition/renewal by the respective Council only on meeting the minimum standard requirements as per the regulations.  In so far as the six new AIIMS being set up under the Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Suraksha Yojana at Bhopal, Bhubaneswar, Jodhpur, Patna, Raipur and Rishikhesh are concerned, the requirement of faculty has been assessed and the number of faculty assessed is 289 posts.  A number of steps have been taken in order to meet the increasing need of medical faculty, which include the following:  The teacher student ratio in postgraduate courses has been increased to 1:2. The ratio has further been increased to 1:3 for some specialties such as Anesthesiology, Forensic Science and Radio-therapy.  Age limit for appointment/extension/re-employment against posts of te

Delay in NEET PG results left doctors in limbo

Around 90,000 aspirants took the National Eligibility Entrance Test (Neet), introduced for the first time for the 11,005 postgraduate (PG) degree seats in medical sciences in private and medical colleges in the country between November and December 2012. The results of Neet were due in January this year, but have been held back as directed by the Supreme Court. Neet-PG is a mandatory test for admission to MD/MS/PG diploma. The test was held at 50 centres in 33 cities across the country. The new method of exam was replicated from the IIM model — an "online test" format for the students — that they introduced three years ago. The PG medical test was conducted for all private and government medical colleges, barring the All India Institute of Medical College (AIIMS), Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education, Chandigarh and Jawaharlal Nehru Institute of Post Graduate Medical Education and Research (JIPMER), Puducherry. Why Neet? The online system, which kickstarted

Mr Azad says - I will urge SC to speed up NEET PG court case

New Delhi: Union Health Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad on Thursday said he would ask the Medical Council of India (MCI) to act against PG medical colleges, which have been accepting money to book seats for students even before the medical entrance exam results were declared. His statement came a day after a CNN-IBN sting operation exposed how PG medical college seats were on sale with some being sold for as much as Rs 3 crore. The minister also urged the Supreme Court to take a decision on the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) issue soon as it would help solve the problem. The NEET results are likely to be delayed as the MCI on Thursday sought more time from the apex court to make a written submission. The Supreme Court has hinted at considering extension of dateline for admission and interim order could be announced in the next two weeks. Former IPS officer and anti-corruption activist Kiran Bedi also urged the Supreme Court to take suo motu cognizance of the CNN-IBN sting ope

AHMEDABAD: The Gujarat University (GU) on Tuesday announced that it has cancelled the local entrance exam for admission in postgraduate medical colleges which was scheduled on April 28.
