Notification of Medical Faculty Qualifications Regulations 2025
What Happened
On June 30, 2025, the National Medical Commission (NMC) notified new regulations standardising the qualification framework for medical educators in India, superseding the 2022 rules. The notification sets a strict retirement age of 70 years and restores a 30% faculty appointment quota for non-medical M.Sc. and Ph.D. degree holders in five non-clinical departments, including Anatomy and Pharmacology.
Why It Matters
This policy reversal is crucial for addressing the chronic shortage of teaching staff in basic medical sciences, ensuring the smooth functioning and expansion of medical colleges across the country.
