Gandhi Medical College Promotes Acting Professors Over Associates

At Gandhi Medical College in Bhopal, acting professors were recently promoted to full professors, while eligible associate professors were overlooked.

This has caused upset among the faculty.

The college requires five years of experience for promotions, but the national rules say three years is enough.

Important departments like cardiology and oncology are affected.

The Junior Doctors' Association (JUDA) says this is unfair and could stop new special departments from being created.

Some acting professors, like Dr. Sabiha Sultana, were given priority, which the associate professors feel is not right.
