The National Medical Commission (NMC) on 25th July 2022, has granted relaxation for completion of Basic Course in Medical Education and Technology (BCMET) for one year. The faculty which has already been promoted earlier on such extension will also have to complete the BCMET within 3 years from the date of promotion.
Para 6 of the “Teachers Eligibility Qualifications in Medical Institutions Regulations, 2022” stipulates norms for faculty appointment and promotion in broad specialties (MD/MS) and super specialties (DM/M.Ch) in a permitted/recognized medical college. It, inter alia, stipulates that for promotion to the post of professor, associate professor, the faculty should have completed BCMET from institutions designated by the NMC.
