Who's Exempt from Basic Course in Medical Education? NMC notifies new rules for medical faculty - Video
Overview
Who's Exempt from Basic Course in Medical Education? NMC notifies new rules for medical faculty
The National Medical Commission (NMC) has offered an exemption from undergoing the mandatory Basic Course in Medical Education (BCME) to the faculty serving in super-speciality departments or in broad speciality subjects not included in the undergraduate curriculum, and the faculty serving in Institutes of National Importance (INIs). Releasing the final Medical Institutions (Qualifications of Faculty) Regulations, 2025, in the official Gazette dated June 30, 2025, NMC laid down the eligibility qualifications of medical teachers at medical institutes.
In these regulations, the NMC announced an exemption from the Basic Course in Medical Education to select faculty. As per these regulations, the following faculty shall be exempt from the requirement to undergo the Basic Course in Medical Education-
(a) any faculty serving in super-speciality departments or in broad speciality subjects not included in the undergraduate curriculum; and
(b) any faculty serving in an institute of national importance, provided that such faculty shall be required to complete the course within two years of appointment in a recognised medical institution.
NMC has specified this in the newly released regulations after providing a similar clarification while considering the case of a doctor who had challenged the recruitment process at Dr. RMLIMS.
