PhD Guide-ship by an University Librarian

[Minakshi Das]

Dear Sir/Madam,

I have a query related to the latest UGC's guidelines.

Whether a State/ Central University Librarian is eligible for PhD guide-ship as new guideline says that the person must has to be a teacher for guiding scholars.

If any University Librarian either state/ central has been guiding scholars and University is allowing them then can you please mention the University name in the comment section.

Thanks in advance.

Only full time University Teachers can be PhD Guide as per UGC rules.

Only a full time regular teacher of the concern

ed University/Institution Deemed to be a

University/College can act as a supervisor. The ext

ernal supervisors are not allowed. However, Co-

Supervisor can be allowed in inter-disciplinary are

as from other departments of the same institute or

from other related institutions with the approval o

f the Research Advisory Committee.

Why our Library professional associations are not taking the issue as serious..why they are not giving representations to UGC?
