NMC reiterates attendance guidelines for medical colleges

New Delhi : The National Medical Commission (NMC) reiterated its previous guidelines for implementing Aadhaar-Enabled Biometric Attendance System (AEBAS) at medical colleges. The guidelines mandated the registration and subsequent attendance of faculty demonstrators, tutors and senior residents in AEBAS. NMC warned the medical colleges of serious consequences if the biometric attendance data is not generated continuously without any reasons for more than two days.

The commission further said the government medical colleges and standalone PG institutes must follow their respective state, UT or central government rules for taking action against employees for not following office timings in marking attendance on AEBAS. “Private medical colleges should follow their own guidelines which should be in sync with NMC’s regulations or guidelines,” it said.
