Delhi HC Responds to Challenge of Medical Faculty Eligibility Rules
A court in Delhi is looking into a new rule about who can teach at medical schools.
The rule says that some teachers without medical degrees can teach certain subjects.
Some doctors don't like this because they think it makes the quality of education worse.
They are asking the court to make sure only doctors with medical degrees can teach medical students.
Delhi HC issued notice to NMC regarding eligibility rules for medical college faculty.
The petition challenges the Teachers’ Eligibility Qualifications (TEQ) Regulations, 2025.
The rules allow up to 30% non-medical faculty in core MBBS subjects.
The petition seeks an interim stay, citing diluted medical education standards.
The case is scheduled for hearing in September.
