It has come to our attention via social media that a certain individual has sought information from the UGC regarding the recognition of https://t.co/Uvfzb3IEhM. (Medical) courses in the country, and the UGC stated that it does not approve the courses.

It must be clarified here that the UGC’s role is to specify the degrees and their nomenclature; not to approve individual courses. Approval and conduct of these courses fall under the purview of recognized universities. It is the respective Boards of Studies within these universities that approve, regulate, and oversee the conduct of these programs, and ultimately award degrees to successful candidates.

People bone-drenched in hate fail to understand these distinctions. We feel sorry for such individuals.

The way a section of the Dr. community is reacting as if Medical MSc -PhD is introduced with TEQ - 25. They forget many of them were not even born from when these courses were running with successful employment outcomes.

We are thankful to @NMC_BHARAT for timely updating the amendment to MSR 2023.
We would also like to request the Commission to amend the examinership issue in CBME 2024 guidelines and include eligible Medical MSc/PhD teachers.
@NMMTA_Assn

[NMMTA @NMMTA_Assn]

The National MSc Medical Teachers’ Association (NMMTA) welcomes the Medical Institutions (Qualifications of Faculty) Regulations, 2025, which effectively replaces the earlier TEQ 2022 and removes many of the discriminatory provisions that existed previously.

We are pleased to note that persons with medical https://t.co/Uvfzb3I6se. and Ph.D. qualifications in the five core non-clinical disciplines—Anatomy, Biochemistry, Physiology, Pharmacology, and Microbiology—are now officially recognized under the designation of “non-medical faculty.” (Although we strongly object to the continued usage of the term "non-medical", which is inaccurate and misleading.)

Also, the MSR 2023 too has been amended to allow appointment of teachers with medical https://t.co/Uvfzb3I6se, Ph.D. qualifications in all the five non-clinical subjects to the extent of 30%, which has always been our demand.

Importantly, faculty holding these qualifications are now eligible to serve as postgraduate guides -an overdue acknowledgment of their academic and professional capabilities.

While we welcome these positive developments and thank the government for this significant shift in policy, a few concerns remain:

Transition Clause: The regulation still retains a vague clause on the "transition period," which is neither clearly defined nor time-bound. This ambiguity creates unnecessary anxiety. We firmly believe that no in-service faculty should be displaced. If at all, only new appointments may be regulated under any revised criteria, but existing faculty must be protected from any adverse consequences.

Disparity in Entry-Level Posts: There remains an unfair disparity in qualification requirements: while a Tutor requires only an MBBS degree, the equivalent post of Demonstrator for our disciplines mandates both an https://t.co/Uvfzb3I6se. and a Ph.D. This is arbitrary and unjustified. We strongly urge the NMC to remove the Ph.D. requirement for Demonstrator posts to bring parity.

Ph.D. Mode of Study – Misinterpretation of UGC Norms: The NMC's insistence on “on-campus mode” for https://t.co/Uvfzb3I6se.-Ph.D. qualifications has led to confusion. According to the University Grants Commission (UGC)—the apex body regulating higher education—Ph.D. degrees may be pursued in full-time or part-time mode, the latter allowing candidates to remain in service while studying at another recognized institution. Only Ph.D.s obtained through distance mode are invalid. We request the NMC to align its language and policy with UGC norms to avoid misinterpretation and unjust exclusion of deserving candidates.

In essence, these new guidelines mark a moral and professional victory against the entrenched bias and injustice faced by teachers with https://t.co/Uvfzb3I6se.-Ph.D. qualifications. This moment reaffirms our longstanding demand for equity and recognition in medical academia.

We sincerely thank the government for listening to reason and restoring fairness. At the same time, we urge the authorities to address the remaining inconsistencies to ensure complete justice.

NMMTA takes pride in the tireless efforts of its members and office bearers whose perseverance and commitment have borne fruit. We thank all our supporters for their unwavering faith in this journey.

[Shashank Kambali, MSc (Medicine) PhD Scholar (Med) @kambali]

@TMMAOfficial @NMC_BHARAT It makes sense now. The MBBS graduates neither have regards for their institutions which have trained us same as them nor have regards for their teachers in non clinical branches who have taught them.

Unfortunately NMC too believes even AIIMS JIPMER and PGIMER are a joke.

[The MSc Medicine Association @TMMAOfficial]

While this much of butchering and slaughtering of the community is happening on every social media platform by defaming and undermining the credentials of MSc Medical Postgraduates by the doctors community and by using @NMC_BHARAT as a tool to achieve their agenda,

Where are the students who are pursuing MSc courses in these institutions?

Where are the alumni?

Why are they silent?

What action are they taking?

Why all these institutions are so silent?

What’s stopping the students and alumni of these institutions in demanding their institutions to issue a statement in this regard?

What’s stopping these institutions to issue a statement to protect the integrity of their institutions and to defend the credibility of the qualifications of their alumni?

Starting with @aiims_newdelhi @OfficialJipmer @RMLDelhi @MAHE_Manipal

[Arjun Maitra, PhD @gandiv_arjun]

Every Medical MSc/PhD teacher must tag their parent institute and ask them to take responsibility and stand in solidarity.

[The MSc Medicine Association @TMMAOfficial]

Not a problem @htTweets
We understand how the system works.

Just know that, you will also become an accomplice in this witch hunt carried by the hate lobby in the doctors community by using the regulatory body such as @NMC_BHARAT which will destroy the medical education and health in this nation irreparably along with the loss of professional lives of 1000s of Medical Postgraduates who come from hard working humble families, meritorious, highly qualified talented pool in the medical field who have invested everything into this to become (medical teachers) what they are today.

PS: MSc Medical Postgraduates are Medical Graduates with varied UG backgrounds including MBBS, BDS, BPT, BHMS, BAMS, BScNursing, Bpharma, BVSc, BSc LS etc.

[Shashank Kambali, MSc (Medicine) PhD Scholar (Med) @kambali]

@sunetrac @MeSanjayy MScs are not non medical qualifications as being projected by doctors community and the NMC itself. MSc Medical Postgraduates are graduates from Medical Institutions. And hey, thanks for not publishing our side of the story though, from your article. Good work.

[Arjun Maitra, PhD @gandiv_arjun]

Myth: non medical faculyare incapable of imparting practical knowledge
Fact: Medical MSc/PhD faculties undergo the same practicals as MD faculties go.
Instead Medical MSc/PhD faculties have stronger scientific foundation to teach 1st & 2nd year students .

[Arjun Maitra, PhD @gandiv_arjun]

Myth: Medical MSc/ PhD faculties are less clinically oriented.
Fact: non clinical MDs dont offer the possibility of clinical practice. ( NMC official)
Now why the onus is on 15% of MSc/PhD teachers when 85% of faculties are MD.
It implies they are unworthy.

[Arjun Maitra, PhD @gandiv_arjun]

What's the reason behind bringing new regulations by @NMC_BHARAT? They are unable to handle the medical education of India.They know @NMMTA_Assn is right, There is a huge faculty crunch.@MoHFW_INDIA it is better NOT to have unworthy doctors in lieu of qualified medical MSc/PhDs.

[Arjun Maitra, PhD @gandiv_arjun]

The Indian Medical Education system is in a mess. they kill the qualified Medical MSc/PhD faculties who strongly supported it for the last 50-60 years, just to promote non clinical doctors of India. @NMC_BHARAT
@MoHFW_INDIA you failed to maintain the ecosystem.

@NeerMaurya Any view on Fairchem???

[NMMTA @NMMTA_Assn]

Today marks the fourth anniversary of the civil writ petition filed by the National MSc Medical Teachers' Association (NMMTA) in the Delhi High Court.

The petition challenges the discriminatory and prejudiced policies of the National Medical Commission (NMC) that undermine the interests of teachers with MSc and Ph.D. qualifications in medical sciences.

Despite waiting for four years for justice, the only outcome has been a series of postponed hearings and delays.

This ongoing litigation highlights the challenges faced by medical educators who are seeking fair recognition of their academic qualifications and professional contributions.

We remain committed to advocating for policies that ensure equal opportunities, respect, and fair treatment for all teachers with medical MSc/Ph.D qualifications.

At the same time we request @PMOIndia @MLJ_GoI to amend the necessary laws to bring improvements in the way our judiciary functions so that the aggrieved receives timely justice. @arjunrammeghwal @MoHFW_INDIA
