The NMC has directed all medical colleges to update the faculty lists by July 31, 2024, with names, photos, qualifications, designations, and registration numbers to ensure transparency and accuracy.

NMC issued a notice requiring medical colleges to update the list of their faculty members in each department on their websites by July 31, 2024.

According to the NMC's notification, the updated faculty list must include:

• Separate listings under each department
• Names of faculty members, recent photographs, educational qualifications, latest designations, and registration numbers
• Alignment of names with the AEBAS (Aadhaar Enabled Biometric Attendance System) of the college

The notification mentioned that: All medical institutions must update the college website regarding the faculty in each department as follows: a. The list of faculty must be available separately under each Department (the medical superintendent, Principal, Dean, if from any of the Departments may also be indicated here); b. The list must have names of the faculty members, his/her recent photo, educational qualification, latest designation and registration number issued by the respective State Medical Council; c. The names reflected in the list must be onboard in the AEBAS system of the college.

 

In its notification, the NMC highlighted incidents where faculty members were marking biometric attendance on AEBAS using fake fingerprints. The NMC has taken this issue seriously and has mandated that all faculty members mark their attendance personally in the AEBAS connected to the NMC at their medical college.

The commission noted that any incidence of impersonation would lead to appropriate action.
