From this academic year, a NET or SLET clearance is not enough to get an assistant professor’s job in the University of Madras. Candidates need to have a PhD. The decision was taken after the university adopted the UGC’s Minimum Qualifications for Appointment of Teachers in Universities 2018 guideline at the council meeting on Saturday.
A PhD would be required even if thecandidateshadcleared NET or SLET, officials said. There are a whole lot of changes in the way promotions of professors as well, making the conditions flexible as well as stringent. For instance, to be recruited as an associate professor, the guidelines specify a teaching experience of eight years and seven publications in UGC listed journals with a minimum research score of 75. Similarly, a professor would need 10 years of experience, 10 publications and a researchscoreof 120.Thespecification of the number of publications is part of the new guideline, officials said.
For promotions under the Career Advancement Scheme (CAS), the system has become flexible as instead of one refresher course of 21 days, the candidate can complete two week-long programmes such as a workshop, training module or completion of a Massive Open Online Course (MOOCs) course or developing content for a MOOC course. “This will ensure that a candidate is not away from teaching for a long period. The MOOC condition is also new,” said professor P Duraisamy, vice-chancellor of theuniversity,whichhas made headway in e-learning mode.
College teachers have been clearly identified as those who would have to concentrate on teaching, while research would be encouraged, but not mandatory for CAS. For instance, for promotion up to associate professor level, they are not required to have publication in UGC listed journals, officials said. The guideline has introduced a professor position in colleges and a senior professor post in universities.
