The following sub-clause 11.1(d) has been included in the Postgraduate Medical Education Regulations, 2000 in terms of Notification published in the Gazette of India on 16th March, 2005:

““(d) Consultants of specialists who have the experience of working for a period of not less than 18 years and 10 years in the teaching and other general departments in the institution or hospitals, not attached to any medical college, where with the affiliation from any university, postgraduate teaching is being imparted as contemplated under sub-regulation (1A) of regulation 8, shall respectively be eligible to be equated as Professor and Associate Professor in the department concerned. The requisite experience for equating a Consultant or Specialist working in the super-speciality department of the said institution or hospitals as Professor and Associate Professor shall respectively be 16 years and 8 years. Consultants or specialists having postgraduate degree qualification, working in such an institution or hospital, who do not have the said period of experience, shall be eligible to be equated as Assistant Professor in the department concerned.”

The following proviso has been further included to clause 11.1(d) in terms of Notification published in the Gazette of India on 17th November, 2009.

“Provided that such conferment of the nomenclature of the designation/status of postgraduate medical teachers shall be awarded only to those many number of consultants in the concerned hospital/institution so as to fulfil the minimum requirement for imparting Postgraduate Medical Education to the sanctioned annual intake of the respective Govt. Hospital/Institute”.”

The Postgraduate Medical Education Committee further observed that:

Most of the staff working in these Private Corporate Hospital do not have any teaching experience; hence they cannot be given teaching designation which is essential for any teaching hospital.

Consultants of Corporate Hospitals may not be full time Consultant and may be attached to two or more hospitals whereas a Professor of medical college will be available full time in the college during college hours and will thus be always available for teaching and training of the students. Most of the staff working in Private Corporate Hospitals have their Private Nursing Homes/Clinics. They go to these Corporate Hospitals only for a few hours. They are allotted OPD space and O.T as and when required. Hence, they are not full time faculty and will not be available to the PG students for teaching purposes.

The following basic departments are mandatorily required as per the Postgraduate Medical Education Regulations, 2000, Appendix-II in the private/ corporate Institutions wishing to start Postgraduate courses without UG courses:

“Criteria to be fulfilled by institutions eligible to start postgraduate course(s) under sub-regulation (1A) of regulation 8, which are required to create their own facilities for setting up departments in basic medical sciences:

A. The basic subjects identified for the purpose of creation of facilities shall be:

i) Anatomy ii) Physiology iii) Pharmacology iv) Community Medicine with Forensic Medicine being optional.

B. Staff requirements:

(1) The minimum staff required in each of the departments of Anatomy, Physiology, Pharmacology and Community Medicine shall be:

Page 42: No.MCI-4(3)/2017-Med./ MEDICAL COUNCIL OF INDIA ......MEDICAL COUNCIL OF INDIA POSTGRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION COMMITTEE Minutes of the Postgraduate Medical Education Committee meeting

42

1. Professor or Associate Professor One 2. Assistant Professor Two Provided that the department of Community Medicine shall also have: a) Epidemiologist-cum-Lecturer b) Statistician-cum-Lecturer c) Health Educator-cum-Lecturer Provided further that the person in charge of a Unit shall not be below the rank of Associate Professor.

(2) The required strength of the teaching personnel shall be in proportion to the number of postgraduate courses started by the institution in a manner that the ultimate upper limit of the requirement shall be on a par with the requirement indicated in the Regulation of the Council titled ‘Minimum Requirements for Establishment of Medical College for Annual Intake Capacity of 50’.

C. Infrastructural requirements:

1) The infrastructural requirements in terms of lecture theatres and demonstration rooms could be common. 2) The research laboratories shall be well-equipped so that the teachers in the departments concerned shall be able to work on solicited research projects. 3) Department of Anatomy: Apart from the common facilities, there shall be placed for dissection with adequate accommodation, along with an embalming room, cold room and also a museum: Provided that Histology and Research laboratory may be clubbed together. 4) Department of Physiology: There shall be clinical, experimental and animal physiology laboratories along with a museum. 5) Department of Pharmacology: The facilities could be common except for research laboratory, which shall be separate. 6) Department of Community Medicine: There shall be a museum alongwith a well-equipped Rural/Urban Health Centre with necessary staff.”

The rationale behind the above provision is that a person doing his MD/MS in

any clinical subjects will have to have full knowledge of the postgraduate level of these basic subjects for being adequately trained.

Allowing such private/ corporate Hospitals to start postgraduate courses without UG course will result in snatching away of all basic department faculties of the already existing Govt. colleges since these Private/Corporate set-ups would offer higher salaries. This will affect existing Govt. colleges and would result in promoting Corporate hospitals at their cost.

On analyzing the data of vacant seats in the country in pre and para-clinical subjects for the academic year 2016-17 & 2017-18, it has been observed that most of the MBBS doctors do not opt for these subjects and a large number of seats in these subjects are remaining vacant. In another five years the situation will further worsen and no faculty will be available in these subjects.

Further DNB training taking place in these corporate hospitals is totally different from MD/MS training. There is no hands on training in DNB because in all corporate hospitals, all patients are paid patients and under one particular doctor. These paid patients will never let a student treat/touch them.

Even in existing medical colleges, MCI does not count private ward beds towards the required number of beds in each department because private ward patients usually do not permit them to be examined by PG students. A DNB student of Surgery, for example will not have operated upon a single patient but ultimately get a degree of Surgery.

43

In view of above, the Committee decided that in case the private/ corporate

hospitals are allowed to start postgraduate courses without UG course, it would affect the standard of medical education and severely compromise the quality of specialists being produced.

The Minutes of this item read and confirmed in the meeting itself.

81. Amendments in Postgraduate Medical Education Regulations, 2000 with

regard to lowering the minimum percentile for admissions in Postgraduate Courses and consideration for deletion of clause for institutional reservation of 50%– reg. Read: the minutes of the Monthly Review meeting held on 26/05/2017 with

regard to Amendments in Postgraduate Medical Education Regulations, 2000 with regard to lowering the minimum percentile for admissions in Postgraduate Courses.

The Postgraduate Medical Education Committee considered the minutes of the monthly review meeting held on 26.05.2017 under the Chairmanship of JS(ME), Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Govt. of India regarding retention of clause in Postgraduate Medical Education Regulations 2000, for lowering the minimum percentage/percentile marks if sufficient number of candidates fail to secure the minimum prescribed percentage of marks and seats remain vacant and noted that the Central Government has already taken decision on this which has been notified vide Gazette Notification No.18(1)/2010/Med./62052, dated 15.02.2012. Hence no further action is required.

The matter with regard to agenda item 81(b) regarding deletion of clause for

institutional reservation/preference of 50% from Postgraduate Medical Education Regulation, the Council had taken the opinion of Additional Solicitor General of India, the operative part of which reproduced below:-

1 The querist has sought my opinion with regard to the permissibility of having

institutional preference during the common counselling for admission in Post Graduate medical Courses for the academic year 2017- 18. The issue which required to be considered is as to:-

“Whether the benefit of institutional preference can be granted to the students for admission in Post Graduate Courses at the time of common councelling by the State Government?” 4 It is in this background that the primary query to be answered by the present opinion is with regard to permissibility to any University/College/Educational Institution of granting institutional preference, while adhering to the basic principle of merit.

i. The issue of institutional reservation for the first time came up for consideration before the Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of Pradeep Jain Vs. Union of India (1984)3 SCC 654. The Hon’ble Supreme Court in the above-Mentioned case held that it is constitutionally permissible for the States to have reservation of seats on the basis of institutional preference in the Post Graduate Medicine Course for students who have passed MBBS course from the same university /College. However, Such institutional reservation should not exceed the outer limit of 50% and the percentage of reservation of seats may be revised from time to time depending upon the prevailing situation.

Page 47: No.MCI-4(3)/2017-Med./ MEDICAL COUNCIL OF INDIA ......MEDICAL COUNCIL OF INDIA POSTGRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION COMMITTEE Minutes of the Postgraduate Medical Education Committee meeting

47

ii Thereafter the Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of AIIMS Students Union Vs AIIMS-(2002) 8 SCC 481 was pleased to hold that a reasonable percentage of seats may be reserved for students in post graduate medicine courses on the basis of institutional preference. However, the reservation of seats on the basis of institutional preference should not violate the principle of merit as well equality of opportunity in matters of education.

iii In the case of Magan Mahrotra & Ors. Vs. Union of India &Ors. (2003) 11 SCC 186 the Hon’ble Supreme Court, while reiterating the principles laid down in the case of Pradeep Jain (supra), held that it is permissible to have reservation of seats at post graduate level on the basis institutional preference for students who have completed their MBBS Course from the same College/University. The Hon’ble Court further held that there cannot be any reservation in post graduate medicine courses on the basis of domicile / place of residence.

iv It is submitted that in the case of Saurabh Chaudhri and Or. Vs. Union of India and Ors. – (2003) 11 SCC 146 the Constitution Bench of the Hon’ble Supreme Court examined in great detail the constitutional validity of institutional reservation. The Hon’ble Supreme Court, while upholding the validity of institutional reservations, was pleased to observe that institutional reservations do not violate the principles of equality enshrined under article 14 of the constitution.

6 The Hon’ble Supreme Court in the cases of Nikhil Himthani Vs. State of Uttarakhand & Ors. (2013) 10 SCC 237 and Vikas Goyal Vs State of Karnataka (2014) 11 SCC 456, while relying on the earlier decisions in the case of Pradeep Jain (supra) and Saurabh Chaudhri, held that institutional reservations is matter of State policy and are permissible under the Constitution. However, the institutional reservation should not be disguised as domicile reservation and should also conform to the principle of equality provided under Article 14 of the Constitution.

7 In all the above-mentioned judgments by the Hon’ble Apex Court, it comes out clearly that there exists complete justification for any University/ college / Educational Institution to follow the principle of grant of institutional preference. The Hon’ble Apex Court has accepted the existence of objective, reasons and factors including institutional continuity in a particular branch / stream of education leading to admission in higher courses. In fact, the overall scheme of the medical education is completely dependent upon institutional continuity for any medical student, no only during the MBBS course itself but also for higher medical PG courses leading to such medical students securing Speciality and Super-speciality medical degrees / qualifications.

8 In view of the above factual matrix and having considered the judgments passed by the Hon’ble Supreme Court on the issue of institutional reservations in post graduate medicine courses, I am of the opinion that institutional reservations are permissible under the scheme of constitution. However, the institutional reservations should not be violative of the principles of merit as well as equality under Article 14 of the constitution. Accordingly, the Council may issue appropriate directions to all the stake- holders for granting institutional reservations to the candidates at the time of common counselling for admission in Post Graduate Medicine Courses.

9 Since any ambiguity in this regard may not only result in causing confusion at different levels / places in carrying out the critical duty of granting PG Medical admissions properly and appropriately, I am also of the opinion that it would be expected of the MCI to consider and issue an appropriate clarification by any Circular to the effect that any University / College / Educational Institution {while strictly adhering to the principle of merit by taking students from the merit list of NEET} would not get prohibited to adopt and follow the principle of institutional preference in granting admissions for PG medical courses.

ASG has therefore opined that “institutional reservations are permissible under the scheme of the Constitution”. The opinion of Ld. ASG is kept on the file.
