The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has issued new recruitment rules for Group ‘A’ and ‘B’ posts in the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO) Medical Device Vertical. This notification was published on November 6, 2024.
Key Points of the New Rules
The rules specify the number, classification, and pay level for various medical device regulatory positions. The method of recruitment, age limit, qualifications, and other eligibility criteria for each post are also outlined.
The rules outline specific disqualifications, including polygamy.
Existing employees in relevant positions will be deemed to have been appointed under these new rules.
The Central Government may relax certain rules in specific cases, subject to consultation with the Union Public Service Commission. The rules ensure that reservations and concessions for Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, Other Backward Classes, ex-servicemen, and other special categories are maintained.
These new rules aim to streamline the recruitment process for medical device regulatory positions and ensure that qualified individuals are recruited to strengthen the regulatory framework for medical devices in India.
