Recruitment Process for Assistant Professors Challenged- HC Issues Notice to Cancer Institute's Director

While considering the plea challenging the recruitment process for 17 Assistant Professor posts in six superspecialty disciplines at the institute, the Orissa High Court has issued notice to the Director of Acharya Harihar Post Graduate Institute of Cancer (AHPGIC), Cuttack.

Even though the HC Bench comprising Justice Aditya Kumar Mohapatra has given a go-ahead with the recruitment process, it has restrained the authorities from finalising any appointments without the Court's permission.

The matter has been listed for further hearing in the week commencing August 4.

As per the latest media report by the Times of India, an Assistant Professor in the department of TB at MKCG Medical College and Hospital, along with four others, challenged the advertisement issued by the institute on May 28 for recruitment to 17 Assistant Professor posts.

The concerned advertisement proposed to select Assistant Professors solely based on marks, giving 40% weightage on MBBS marks for the candidates who completed their post-graduation before 2016-2017, and 20% marks from PG.
