NMC stresses need for Aadhaar-enabled biometric attendance system for faculties in medical colleges

New Delhi: As part of efforts to weed out ‘ghost faculty’ in medical colleges, the NMC has reiterated the importance of Aadhaar-enabled biometric attendance system (AEBAS) for faculty members before inspection.

The National Medical Commission (NMC) has been repeatedly asking medical colleges to implement the AEBAS.

The Commission has come out with Medical Assessment and Rating Board guidelines aimed at standardising the application process to start new medical colleges or increase seats in existing institutions and dealing with ghost faculty among others.
