Varsity grants guideship to college teachers

CHENNAI, MAY 06, 2019 00:00 IST

The syndicate of the University of Madras which met on Friday has decided to grant guideship to faculty with Ph.D in languages. Teachers who teach foundation courses at the undergraduate level in languages such as Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, Hindi, Sanskrit and Urdu in affiliated colleges will benefit.

This is being done “in order to increase the availability of qualified teachers as there are no PG programmes in those subjects,” said Vice-Chancellor P. Duraisamy.

New principals

The Syndicate approved the appointment of principals to Loyola College, Stella Maris and New College.

Last year, A.M. Jain College had approached the court and won a verdict in its favour after the University cited the UGC norms for faculty appointments. The syndicate has also approved higher intake in its affiliated colleges.

As many as 5,500 UG and 1,200 PG additional seats are up for approval for the academic year 2019-20.
