Youth aspiring for careers in the medical field have received great news from Maharashtra. The state government plans to recruit 5500 Assistant Professors and 2900 non-teaching positions, strengthening the teaching and administrative infrastructure of medical colleges. This move will not only increase employment opportunities for young people but also help raise the standard of higher education in the state.
This recruitment drive will address the shortage of faculty and support staff in government medical colleges. The recruitment process will be completed before March 2026, benefiting both students and colleges. If you are a medical student and dream of a government job, this opportunity could prove significant.
Approval for Non-Teaching Positions
Minister Patil, speaking at the 28th convocation ceremony of Swami Ramanand Teerth Marathwada University in Nanded, announced government approval for 2900 non-teaching staff positions. Both the finance and planning departments have given their consent.
Previous Recruitment Stalled
The minister also mentioned that previously, approval was given for the recruitment of 700 Assistant Professors in universities. Still, the recruitment could not be completed due to a different procedure suggested by the then-Governor, C. P. Radhakrishnan. This matter will now be raised with the new Governor, Acharya Devvrat.
Efforts to Attract Foreign Students
Minister Patil stated that strengthening universities can attract foreign students. This year, through an agency, 4,000 students from 65 countries enrolled, but most prioritised Pune and Mumbai.
