The health minister of Jammu and Kashmir has imposed a deadline for preparing recruitment regulations for five state medical colleges that currently lack such rules.
The health minister of Jammu and Kashmir announced that a deadline has been set for drafting recruitment rules for five state‑run medical colleges that are currently operating without a formal framework.
These colleges, spread across the union territory, have been hiring faculty and support staff without standardized guidelines, raising concerns about transparency and merit‑based selection.
While the exact date of the deadline was not disclosed, the minister emphasized that the draft rules must be submitted promptly to ensure a uniform recruitment process.
The initiative aims to bring the colleges in line with national standards, improve the quality of hiring, and strengthen the overall medical education system in the region.
