Centre asks AIIMS-Delhi to limit duration of Ph.D. scholars, scientists working on research projects to six years

New Delhi The Union Health Ministry has asked AIIMS-Delhi to cap the duration of Ph.D. scholars or scientists working on research projects to six years. The AIIMS administration is yet to implement the order.

The directive issued by the Health Ministry on July 12 states that “project staff will not be allowed to continue or hired to serve beyond six years of cumulative engagement in the institute”.
