Jammu and Kashmir authority has been taking a lot of steps to ensure proper regularization of faculty posts. A few days ago, the Administrative Council of Jammu and Kashmir, chaired by Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha, approved the implementation of a 3-Tier Faculty Structure in Government Medical Colleges and Super Specialty Hospitals in both Jammu and Srinagar. The approved reform involves the upgrading of 287 Lecturer positions to Assistant Professors, ensuring adherence to the minimum teacher eligibility qualifications in medical institutes mandated by the NMC. This step aims to align the existing medical colleges with the newer institutions across the state.
