NMC introduces post-doctoral fellowship courses to promote research, clinical skill development

Medical education regulator — National Medical Commission — has for the first time introduced post-doctoral fellowship courses in medical colleges regulated by it to promote research and clinical skill development.

Medical institutions till now were creating and approving these courses at their own level to train doctors.

The regulator recently notified “Post-Graduate Medical Education Regulations, 2023” according to which once a medical college is granted permission to start PG course or seats, the course will be treated as recognised.


This will solve many difficulties faced by students to register their degree after passing postgraduate examinations, Dr Vijay Oza, President of Post-Graduate Medical Education Board of the National Medical Commission (NMC) explained.

As per the new regulations which have replaced the Postgraduate Medical Education (Amendment) Regulations, 2018, the existing NEET-PG examination will continue till the proposed National Exit Test (NExT) becomes operational for the purpose of PG admission.

The new regulations state that all post-graduate students will work as full-time resident doctors and for “reasonable working hours” and will be provided “reasonable time for rest” in a day.

They will be permitted a minimum 20 days of casual leaves per year and five days of academic per year. Subject to exigencies of work, post-graduate students will be allowed one weekly holiday, the new regulations said.

“Earlier there was no written provision of leaves,” Dr Oza said.

“The NMC after considering the comments and suggestions of various stakeholders and detailed in-house discussion unveiled groundbreaking reforms in post-graduate medical education, aimed at fostering quality, ethical practice, and inclusivity within the medical fraternity,” he said.

These reforms encompass various critical aspects of post-graduate medical training and aim to enhance the standards of education and practice nationwide, Dr Oza said.

“The comprehensive reforms outlined in the Post-Graduate Medical Education Regulations, 2023, mark a pivotal moment in ensuring the highest standards of medical education in our country. These regulations underscore our commitment to nurturing a proficient and ethical healthcare workforce,” Dr Yogender Malik, member of the Ethics and Medical Registration Board and head of the media division at NMC, said.

For better implementation of these regulations, there is provision of penalty clause which includes monetary penalty, reduction in number of seats (admission capacity) or complete stoppage of admissions.

Supreme Court rejects plea to remove Tamil Nadu Minister V Senthil Balaji from State Cabinet

Supreme Court rejects plea to remove Tamil Nadu Minister V Senthil Balaji from State Cabinet

A bench of Justices Abhay S Oka and Ujjal Bhuyan remarked that a Governor needs the recommendation of the Chief Minister to dismiss a Minister.

Senthil Balaji and Supreme Court


Published on :

The Supreme Court on Friday dismissed a plea seeking removal of Tamil Nadu Minister V Senthil Balaji from the State Cabinet [ML Ravi vs Principal Secretary to Governor, Government of Tamil Nadu and ors].

A bench of Justices Abhay S Oka and Ujjal Bhuyan orally remarked that a Governor needs the recommendation of the Chief Minister to dismiss a Minister and cannot act independently on the issue.

It, therefore, refused to interfere with the judgment of the Madras High Court which had rejected the plea to remove the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) minister from the cabinet.

"We have perused the impugned judgment of the High Court and concur with the view taken. No interference is called for under Article 136," the bench stated while dismissing the plea.

Balaji was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) last year in a money laundering case. He was accused of being involved in a cash for jobs scam during his tenure as Transport Minister in the AIADMK-led Tamil Nadu government between 2011 and 2015. He had later joined the DMK and became a minister in 2021.

In September 2023, the Madras High Court observed that Balaji continuing in the State Cabinet as Minister without portfolio did not "augur well with the principles of Constitutional ethos on goodness, good governance and purity in administration."

The High Court, therefore, "advised" Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin to take a decision on whether Balaji should continue to be a State Minister despite his arrest and remand to judicial custody.

The High Court also noted that it would be a matter of debate as to whether the Governor can unilaterally disqualify a person officiating as a minister, if such person has not incurred any disqualification under the Constitution or under any statute.

The High Court, however, did not pass any directions for the removal of Balaji as a minister leading to the instant appeal before the Supreme Court.

The plea filed by lawyer ML Ravi challenged Balaji’s continuance in the Cabinet despite him being in jail.

Now, all PG medical students in state to get uniform stipend

Now, all PG medical students in state to get uniform stipend

There have been complaints in the past by PG students from private medical colleges that their stipend amount is never at par with the government medical colleges (GMC).

Written by Pallavi Smart

Mumbai | Updated: January 5, 2024 03:22 IST

One of the students said, “In Maharashtra, when a PG student from GMC is getting paid close to Rs 80,000 a month, in private medical colleges this varies from 20,000-50,000. Whereas some do not even pay any stipend to PG students. In Karnataka, where GMCs are paying Rs 40,000 a month, private colleges are paying almost half of it.”


Post-Graduate (PG) students in all medical colleges will now have to be paid stipend at par with the stipend being paid to PG students of state-run medical colleges where the institution is located. This is clarified in a gazette notification issued by the National Medical Council (NMC) on Thursday on Post-Graduate Medical Education Regulations, 2023 (PGMER-23), applicable to medical colleges across India.

While the stipend regulation puts an end to the persisting clash over differences in amount of stipend paid to PG medical students in government and private institutions, the PGMER-23 also brings uniformity in various other aspects of PG medical education imparted in institutions of various types such as weekly off and daily resting period for PG students, paid leaves for casual and academic reasons etc.

There have been complaints in the past by PG students from private medical colleges that their stipend amount is never at par with the government medical colleges (GMC). One of the students said, “In Maharashtra, when a PG student from GMC is getting paid close to Rs 80,000 a month, in private medical colleges this varies from 20,000-50,000. Whereas some do not even pay any stipend to PG students. In Karnataka, where GMCs are paying Rs 40,000 a month, private colleges are paying almost half of it.”

Stating that the uniformity in stipend, clarified in the notification, is a great relief for PG students, especially those studying in private medical colleges, one of the parents, Brijesh Sutaria, said, “Clarity in stipend for PG students across medical colleges was need of the hour. It is important to see that these regulations are implemented and do not remain only on paper.”

As per the notification, all PG medical candidates, irrespective of whether they are studying in government or private institutions, are entitled to 20 days of paid casual leave along with five days of paid-academic leave per year and all PG medical students should be allowed one weekly off.

The notification also states, “All post-graduate students will work as full-time resident doctors. They will work for reasonable working hours and will be provided reasonable time for rest in a day.”

But this according to parents is ambiguous. A parent, Sudha Shenoy, said, “The NMC should define daily-duty for each PG student and duration of rest-period. The word ‘reasonable’ is very subjective. It can be conveniently used by different colleges.” Sutaria pointed out how PG students are generally seen working 72- 96 hours without going home, insisting on the definition of working hours and resting-period.

Adding to this, Shenoy said, “Apart from regulation, the NMC should also have clarified a grievance redressal process, if any student should have complaint. There has to be a system to monitor.”

Some other important points from the PGMER-23 include extension in tenure of district residency programme from two months to three months wherein all PG students pursuing MD/MS in broad specialties in all medical colleges shall undergo a compulsory residential rotation of three months in district hospitals or district health systems.
