Ph.D is not Mandatory for University Librarian, but it is Mandatory for Professors in LIS

[Apurba Jyoti Majumder]

UGC 6th pay commision has not made PhD compulsory for the post of University LIbrarian, but is is mandetory for the post of Professor in LIS.

 

They say that both the posts have same status but different requirement. A person without PhD will enjoy salary & status as of a person with Ph D.

 

Should we go for PhD? Should we fight for the dignity?

[Dr. Tarvinder Singh Handa]

Dear Apurba... what about qualifications for Assistant Librarian in IITs. Some are demanding UGC for this post wheras some demand M. Lib Sc. with seven year experience. Why is this so.

[Apurba Jyoti Majumder]

IITs are fully autonomus.

for them requirements are different.

Some want NET with Exprnce,

some want No NET with high exprnce

some want only NET.
