Chennai: The Tamil Nadu directorate of collegiate education on Monday warned colleges and deemed universities that it will initiate stringent action against them if they demanded money from faculty members for issuing experience certificates.
A report carried by TOI on Monday pointed out that a deemed university in Chennai was demanding up to a year’s salary from faculty members seeking experience certificates. The Teachers Recruitment Board has notified 2,331 vacancies in government arts and science colleges for which the teachers would be applying. The board has prescribed a format to get experience certificates from their current and previous employers. “We receive complaints that colleges decline to issue experience certificates and attendance details and some deemed universities demand money to issue certificates. Some candidates complained that educational institutions were demanding resignation letters from faculty members if they sought experience certificates,” said C Jothi Venkateswaran, director of collegiate education in a circular to all registrars of universities and regional joint directors.
“If private universities demand money for issuing experience certificates, it is against regulations and they will face stringent action,” he said in the circular. The director urged all educational institutions to issue the experience certificates without delay.
Meanwhile, an expert as pointed out holes in the system. “No state university maintains year-wise staff data of their affiliated colleges. If colleges want they can give fake certificates for anyone since there is no independent data available for verification,” said A R Nagarajan, advisor to NET SLET Association.
