A number of posts of doctors and faculties in reserved category are lying vacant in All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) due to a number of reasons, Health Minister Jagat Prakash Nadda said today.
As many as 24-SC, 11-ST and 49-OBC posts of Assistant Professors and Lecturers in Nursing are vacant. In the category of Senior Residents, 18-SC, 38-ST and 72-OBC posts, while 43-SC, 22-ST and 52-OBC posts of Junior Residents are lying vacant in the institute, Nadda said in a written reply to Lok Sabha.
