AIIMS Decides to Transfer Vacant Fellowship seats for three Consecutive Sessions to Other Departments
New Delhi: In an attempt to address the large number of vacant fellowship seats in every semester, the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi has decided to transfer those unfilled seats for three consecutive sessions to other departments who are yet to commence fellowship courses.
Therefore, issuing an Office Memorandum in this regard, the Director of AIIMS New Delhi, Dr. M Srinivas has directed the departments who are willing to commence fellowship courses or increase the seats in their fellowship programmes to submit their proposals to the Dean (Academic) within November 15, 2022.
Besides, the departments with vacant fellowship seats for three consecutive sessions have also been asked to submit justifications if they wish to continue with those positions.
Referring to the recurring vacancies in the fellowship positions, the OM dated 18.10.2022 stated, "It is noted that a large number of fellowship seats are going vacant in every semester. This indicates that either there is no demand for the said fellowship or that the potential suitable applicants for the said fellowship are not available."
