MPhil holders are exempted from NET

[Mohd Asif Khan]

Dear All

In a major relief to thousands of MPhil degree holders aspiring for a lecturer's job, the University Grants Commission (UGC) has decided to exempt all candidates who obtained an MPhil degree on or before July 10, 2009 from clearing the tough-to-crack National Eligibility Test (NET) to qualify for appointment as a teacher in a college or university.

The decision, taken at the UGC's 472nd meeting recently, comes as a huge relief for scores of MPhil degree holders who stood disqualified for an assistant professor's post (earlier called lecturer) sans an NET qualification. The UGC had last year notified its new regulations on minimum qualifications for teaching faculty as per which a pass in the NET was mandatory for appointment as assistant professors.

At the meeting, it was noted that the UGC Regulations of 2009/2010 are prospective and not retrospective in nature, and therefore resolved that all candidates having MPhil degree on or before July 10, 2009 shall remain exempted from the requirement of NET for the purpose of appointment as lecturer/assistant professor. A similar exemption shall be applicable to all candidates who have obtained a PhD degree on or before December 31, 2009 and a Candidate, who had registered themselves for PhD degree on or before July 10, 2009.

Dear Asif,

The decisions taken in this minute are ruled out by court and now NET/SLET is compulsory even if one has obtained Mphil degree before june 2009. However PhD Degree holder who received their degrees before june 2009 are still exempted from UGC NET

Dear Gulnawaz,

Greetings from my side

This is with refrence to your earlier mail that we are waiting from UGC new  guidlines and this news was flash by the reporter of HT Media but my question is that if this norms is strolnly stopped by the court and they give order  to UGC make new guidelines for that so wy most of the university follow the the UGC Regulation 2009 example Himachal University announce the some post one of assistant professor also and for this position they clear mention they are follow the norms UGC Regulation 2009 here I am sening you one copy of this announcement.You check this and reply me

[DR MD GULNAWAZ AZAM]

Sir

  The Central University of Himachal Pradesh is right according to  UGC regulation 2009 for appointment of Assistant professor. Sir you again check the notification of this university. Not any paragraph of university notification show that M. Phil is the exempted case for appointment of Assistant professor . Notice clearly indicate  that  PhD  or NET is the exempted case for above post and this is the UGC regulation 2009.    

[Dr. Badan Barman]

Sir,

I think Pawan Agrawal, and MD GULNAWAZ AZAM are right in this regard. The UGC regulations are still valid and in that M.Phill are not exempted from appearing NET exam. We should not go by the news of any newspapers or journals.

Dear Badan,

I agree with you what ever said by Mr. Pawan and Mohd Gulnawaz said that the court  already disagree that matter and till date UGC regulation 2009. but my question is that if the new guidelines are not published and court stop the 2009 rules  so why himachal university announce the position with the UGC regulation 2009. here I am sending you the position details kindly you see this news and reply
