Shocking: Hoping to teach medicine without MBBS degree

Patna: Authorities at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences in the Bihar capital are shocked that over 90 percent of applicants for teachers' posts at the institute did not have the mandatory MBBS degree,

The applications were received in response to an advertisement published by AIIMS-Patna July 26.

Officials at the institute said they were puzzled by how the applicants considered themselves qualified for the position: "In the advertisement, the educational qualification required for the posts was clearly mentioned," one official told IANS.

Singh said that the hordes of applicants was also indicative of the poor standard of education in the country as the young people who applied without being qualified demonstrated an inability to discern whether or not they would be considered. He also said the large number of applications was an indicator of the level of desperation among youth to get a job.

In 2006, the central government decided to set up institutes like New Delhi's AIIMS across the country, including at Patna, Bhopal, Bhubaneswar, Jaipur and Rishikesh.
