NMC announces relaxations to widen faculty pool for adding 75,000 medical seats in 5 years, details
To fulfill the Central Government's vision of adding 75,000 medical seats in India in the next five years, the National Medical Commission (NMC) has announced several relaxations regarding the recruitment of faculty in medical colleges in the recently released Medical College Faculty Regulations.
Medical Dialogues had earlier reported that NMC had published the "Medical Institutions (Qualifications of Faculty) Regulations, 2025" in the official Gazette on June 30, 2025. These regulations laid down the eligibility qualifications for medical teachers at medical institutes.
In a recent press release, NMC mentioned that these regulations were notified to expand medical education capacity and strengthen faculty availability.
"In a landmark move to address the growing demand for healthcare professionals and enhance the quality of medical education, the National Medical Commission (NMC) has notified the Medical Institutions (Qualifications of Faculty) Regulations, 2025. These regulations, brought in by the Post Graduate Medical Education Board (PGMEB) under NMC, are designed to widen the pool of eligible faculty and facilitate the expansion of undergraduate (MBBS) and postgraduate (MD/MS) seats in medical colleges across India," NMC mentioned in a release.
