Stick to UGC norms in appointment: HC
Madurai:1.7.2019
The Madurai bench of the Madras high court directed the authorities concerned to follow the UGC regulations in appointing assistant professors at government colleges in the state.
A batch of petitioners moved the court to direct the authorities to strictly comply with the UGC in Minimum Standards and Procedure for Awards of MPhil and PhD Degree Regulation, 2009, pertaining to the eligibility criteria for appointment of assistant professors at government colleges.
Justice S M Subramaniam observed that the court is of the opinion that the grievance expressed by the petitioners are undoubtedly a concern and the minimum standards of educational qualifications and other criteria fixed by UGC are to be followed scrupulously.
The judge observed that the nature of degrees, the mode of undergoing the UG and the PG courses are also to be verified before appointing candidates. If any post graduate or other degrees are obtained through open university, then those with such degrees, which are not prescribed under UGC, are not eligible for appointment.
“A teacher must know classroom craft and they must have the experience of witnessing the art of teaching. Thus, the candidates who studied and possess the requisite educational qualifications through regular pattern of education in college alone are to be selected and appointed for the post of assistant professors,” observed the judge. The judge also stated that all those officials responsible for not implementing the UGC regulations are to be punished by initiating disciplinary proceedings. TNN
