The Dental Council of India has urged for a swift appointment to ensure the institution's standards are maintained and to facilitate the launch of a new MDS course.

RIMS Recruitment 2026 Announcement



RIMS Dental College has opened applications for the permanent position of Principal, with a deadline set for April 16. This recruitment drive comes with revised application criteria aimed at attracting a broader range of candidates.


Experience Requirement Relaxed

In a significant shift, the previous requirement of 25 years of experience post-postgraduate degree has been lifted following a directive from the High Court. This change is expected to enhance the pool of eligible applicants and expedite the filling of a position that has been vacant for an extended period.


Vacancy Duration


For the last three years, RIMS Dental College has not had a permanent Principal, relying instead on an Acting Principal, which has negatively impacted both administrative and academic functions.


DCI Urges Swift Appointment


The Dental Council of India (DCI) has consistently urged RIMS to appoint a permanent Principal promptly. The DCI emphasizes that without a regular Principal, maintaining the institution's growth and standards becomes increasingly challenging.

Additionally, there are concerns that delays in this appointment could hinder the introduction of the anticipated MDS course at the Dental College. As a result, the current application process and the forthcoming appointment are under close scrutiny.
