Ph.D not compulsory for teaching jobs in colleges, universities: UGC
The University Grants Commission on Wednesday relaxed the criteria for appointment of teachers in colleges and universities by reversing its own regulation making Ph.D degree mandatory for the post of assistant professors. The UGC announced that the University Grants Commission Regulations, 2018, have been amended and Ph.D qualification would now be optional for a teacher post. The National Eligibility Test, State Eligibility Test and State Level Eligibility Test shall be the minimum criteria for the direct recruitment to the post of assistant professor for all Higher Education Institutions,” UGC Chairman M. Jagadesh Kumar said. “NET/SET/SLET shall be the minimum criteria for the direct recruitment to the post of Assistant Professor for all Higher Education Institutions,” the amendment said.
