Even now, while giving approval to the medical college batch, the MCI has directed the Medical college management to fill up the 13 % vacancies in its faculty.

Bearing the future MCI recognitions in mind, the Shahid Hasan Khan Mewati Government Medical College has already put up several advertisements for hiring. The last date for applying is December 30.
