Senility doesn't touch private medical college professors!!

Retirement age for doctors in state / central Govt. is 58 / 60 years.
Private medical colleges were allowed to employ doctors till 65 years.
Sometime back it was changed to 70 years( wonder whether senility / dementia don't touch them and also why the Govt. retires most of its employees at 58 years.
Pretty sure it will become employed till death soon
Worried if it will become employed even after death!!
Note: their employment basically is for their degree certificates and previous service which help (mis)managements to register their names as teachers and mint crores in capitation from the prospective buyers (sorry, students). The employment is definitely not for their knowledge or skills (am seeing living examples)!

Whereas the same teachers are relieved from the Govt service at 58 years and the Govt cries of insufficient faculty and fails to add more seats, thereby depriving deserving students who can’t afford a bomb for their post graduation.

And the retirees often quote their interest in teaching students as the reason for joining the private colleges after retirement. Sadly the same “interested” teachers won’t continue teaching in the Govt. hospitals or work in places where they are paid at par with the Govt. service!!

The MCI, Govts., private institutions and the greedy doctors connive and have created a situation where lots of hopeful students are being advised to “buy” a seat rather than waste their time in preparing for Government seats.

Ten years down the line I will lose the pride of mentioning that I am a doctor, similar to the state, a lot of advocates are in today!!

I just have one question to ask how much do you think a professor retiring at age of 58 earns as salary from a government medical college. Just compare it to a doctor in same specialty doing private practice or a 25 year old software engineer. You wil realise where the problem is. What is wrong if decided to join a private medical college, pls do not confuse private colleges collecting huge amount of money with this do you think the doctor gets even .1% of the amount which the colleges take. And is it his/ her fault the government decides to retire them at 58/ 60 years

Well said Venkat, in my place i have some one who comes just for ten days a month and there is one more who doesn't come at all.But they are are paid handsomely for the job. These are PG teachers who dont take a singe class for the Pgs and still mint. They get all the benefits of not coming when full timers are considered as " these buggers dont have any other option"
Talking about govt docs, there s no one who is not into PVT practice, over that they get all perks over the salary, though teir salary may be less the perks, ie tax fee benefits what they get are very high.
