NMC allows Diploma Doctors to become Assistant Professors in Medical Colleges - Video
Overview
Diploma Doctors can now become Assistant Professors in Medical Colleges: New NMC rules offer relief
Finalising the Teachers Eligibility Qualifications in medical colleges, the National Medical Commission (NMC) has now allowed medical diploma holders to join medical colleges as faculty. This comes as a relief for these doctors, whose careers became uncertain after the erstwhile Medical Council of India (MCI), now replaced by NMC, restricted the PG medical diploma holders from taking faculty positions at medical colleges.
Medical Dialogues had earlier reported that releasing the final Medical Institutions (Qualifications of Faculty) Regulations, 2025, in the official Gazette dated June 30, 2025, NMC laid down the eligibility qualifications for medical teachers at medical institutes.
NMC has mentioned that to be appointed for the post of Assistant Professors in medical broad specialities and surgical broad specialities in medical colleges, diploma holders appointed as Senior Residents in a recognised medical institute before 08.06.2017, having a total experience of four years as Senior Resident, shall be eligible.
