AIIMS plans to cap research period for scholars in new recruitment rules
The Morning Standard
|June 29, 2023
THE All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) has proposed fresh guidelines on the recruitment of researchers after instructions from the health ministry. The guidelines are apparently framed to duck the court-mandated practice of regularization of staff employed in research projects.
The proposed rules curtail the number of years one can be employed within the premier institute with a motive to discourage people from seeking regular appointments after a fixed period, which is 15 years as ordered by the Delhi High Court. The new guidelines have been forwarded for the ministry’s approval, sources said.
