Kalyug
NET qualified will get Ph.D but Ph.D. holder is unable to clear NET.
its injustice for lecturers who clear NET exam.because there is no NET qualified on key post. that means No Thorat, No mungekar even also Chadda.
I challenge to all UGC members, first clear NET and then take any disicion.

Sir,
for self finance institute is a different aspect..

my question is associated with the quality of higher education.

a person who is associated with teaching, we assume that he/she has full knowledge of the subject .if a person is not able to qualify the exam that based on that particular subject what he/she is teaching how would you expect a good result for that institution.so we must have some filtration to get some skilled teacher among the interested ppl and NET exam is the only tool that serves the quality in this regard.

M.Phil/Ph.D course is the based on a particular topic and it doesn't ensure the complete knowledge of the subject. and we are aware that anyone can get M.Phil/PhD degree easily these days...but NET exam that is based on full syllabus of graduation/PG courses certainly give assurance that NET cleared people will definitely have grip on the subject.
The exemption/relaxation from NET will not only lead to the dilution of standard for the entry to the teaching profession but will also lower the quality of the M. Phil / Ph. D. degree. Many people who find it difficult to pass the NET, despite several attempts, will now try to obtain an M. Phil / Ph. D. degree, by hook or crook. However, it does not mean that the degree is irrelevant. The Ph.D. degree should continue to be an additional/preference qualification for appointment to the lecturer’s and higher posts.

The exemption/relaxation from NET will not only lead to the dilution of standard for the entry to the teaching profession but will also lower the quality of the M. Phil / Ph. D. degree. Many people who find it difficult to pass the NET, despite several attempts, will now try to obtain an M. Phil / Ph. D. degree, by hook or crook.
The variation in the standard of M. Phil. / Ph.D. work, however, does not mean that the degree is irrelevant. The Ph.D. degree should continue to be an additional/preference qualification for appointment to the lecturer’s and higher posts.
To protect the degradation in the quality of higher education, which is one of the most important pillars towards building a civilized society,we should not give the exemption to m.Phil/Ph.D holders.

Sir, My designation is programmer & scale is lecturer scale.workload also same(teaching).
but never mention about the programmer post in 6th pay commission.

* In 1986 UGC create the post, that told programmer is equivalent lecturer grade
* UGC,Letter dated 15-10-1990 Dr.S.P gupta revised pay scales - system programmer/system analyst is lecturer scale.

still so many universites/colleges have the programmer post.

pay commission told only system analyst.

2008-12-02T09:15:00.000+05:30

Many who are in reader or equivalent grade have expressed anguish over dr.chadha's report of recommended pay revision to UGC. Their feelings are logical and genuine. Many reader grade faculty members stagnate at 18300 basic at the top of the scale. By not giving them due promotion as professor to the next level in P4 scale is injustice and vindictive. UGC in the wider significance of higher education in countrey should not deny professorship to post graduate colleges having readers who have completed atleast 10 years in that scale. Revised designations for lecturers and readers sound childish. The reoprt sure;y does not reflect any deeper analysis or honest intentions. It rather sounds like a thesis prepared by our university professors, replicating and recycling second hand information from journals in a bad manner. Hope UGC and MHRD and Govt will rectify the middle order mess created in dr.chadha's term paper like report ( deserves C grade) submitted to UGC.

2008-11-11T20:10:00.000+05:30

Qualifying NET/SLET is more difficult comparing to M.Phil or Ph.D so please give some importance to those who have qualified NET/SLET. I strongly support Dr.Sood commements on the librarian cadre. Librarians and physical directors are key posts in any college. Librarians and Physical directors have the same or more qualifications than any other teaching faculty in the college. So, chadha sir kindly look in to Dr. Sood comments and do justice to the College librarians.

2008-10-18T21:11:00.000+05:30

I simply oppose the implementation of the Chadha Committee Report before making necessary rectification specially in the pay scale designed haphazardly for the Selection Grade Lecturers. A great injustice done to them by placing the most intelligent , hardworking group of teachers both in colleges and Universities in the country in PB3. Instead, they should be placed in pay band 4 or should be placed them at a minimum scale at 35000-65000.

2008-10-18T14:34:00.000+05:30

Chaddha pay review committee seems to have recommended everything for Professors. Hike of pay by 70-90% (as claimed by Prof. Chaddha) is only in case of professors. There is nothing for Assist Professors, Assist Prof (Senior Scale) and Associate Prof/Assist Prof (Selection Grade)in the report. As a matter of fact Readers have been humiliated by placing them in PB-3. The government has already given PB-4 to the pay scales ending at 18300 (with annual increment of 400). Readers pay end at 18300 (with annual increment of Rs 420) hence deserves to be placed in PB-4. Prof Chaddha at one end claims that he has made teaching profession a noble profession, at the other he has downdraded the position of Readers. Perhaps Prof Chaddha was more concerned about Professors and retiring professors that is why he recommended for new position of senior professor and professor of eminence and increase in the retirement age. There is nothing wrong in it but he should also have considered for other young and middle aged teachers. From the newspaper it seems that UGC has corrected these issues (Recommendation of PB-4 to the Readers). It is requested to those who are at helm of the affairs in the ministries (HRD and Finance) to provide PB-4 to the Readers and save the teaching profession from the humiliation.

2008-10-17T16:27:00.000+05:30

Great injustice has been done by Chaddha Pay review committee to the Assistt Prof. and Assoc. Prof. particularly to Assoc. Prof/ Readers. Government has given PB-4 to the Pay Scales ending with pay of 18300. Unfortunately, pay review committee has recommended PB-3 for the Assoc. Prof./Readers/Assist Prof (Selection Grade) whose pay ends at 18300. Assoc Prof /Readers must have been placed in PB-4 with grade pay of 8700. It would have avoided the stagnation of teacher in the same pay band(PB-3) for 17 years. This anomaly must be addressed by the UGC and Ministry of HRD while finalizing the implementation of the report. Otherwise, a young talent joining the teaching service will lose incentive for better performance as only incentive for 17 years will be a meagre increase of Rs 600 and 800 in the grade pay for his first two promotions as Asstt Prof(Senior Scale) and Associate Professor. This could be easily avoided by placing the Assoc Prof/Reader in PB-4 with GP of 8700. Because the new incumbent will know that he will be promoted to next pay band with better performance. It will also reduce the frustration of Readers whose basic pay has reached to more than that of starting basic pay of Professors(16400). If this problem is not addressed the Reader's ( whose basic pay has reached to more than that of starting basic pay of Professors)basic pay along with GP will be Rs 20000 less than the total basic pay of a starting professor. By adding DA and HRA his salary will be less by about Rs 30000. What a great injustice! it would be with a teacher (above exampled Reader)who was drawing same pay as a professor as on today. It is humbly requested to those who are at the helm of the affairs to avoid such disparity which could easily be done by putting the Readers in PB-4 with GP of 8700. Teachers pursuing same duties with same qualifications should not be discriminated in such a way.

2008-10-17T16:20:00.000+05:30

The recommendation of Chaddha Pay review committee has done a great injustice to the Readers by recommending PB-3 for Readers. Government has already given PB-4 with GP of 8700 to the pay scales ending at 18300 with annual increments of 400. Reader’s pay scale ends at 18300 with annual increments of Rs 420. By recommending PB-3 to the Readers, Pay review committee has downgraded the Readers position which is pivotal in teaching profession because of their experience and age. This anomaly could easily be resolved by placing the Readers in PB-4 (Basic pay 37400) with GP of 8700 as has already been given to UG college Pricipals (Pay scale 12000-18300). Position of Professor will still be superior as their Basic pay starts at 43000 or 450000 with GP of 11000. Creation of bigger gap than this will certainly be humiliation to Readers.

2008-10-15T23:40:00.000+05:30

This is in response to the previous bloggers contention for exemption of NET/SET for M.Phil holders.Why on earth do you people want the "clutches" of exemption for NET/SET like a physically disabled person? This is almost akin to reservation.Are you so poor in academics that you cannot pass NET? In that case forget about a teaching career in College/University. Good riddance to bad trouble.

2008-10-14T22:23:00.000+05:30

In para 5.7.7 of Chapter V, the PRC has recommended that M.Phil., holders cannot be exempted from NET/SET.

But the existing relaxation from NET/SET for M.Phil., should be continued in larger interest of aspirants who have completed M.P:hil., or are pursuing the same.

In fact, the UGC has somersaulted on many occasions on qualification issue for lecturership. This has caused lot of hardship to teacher aspirants across the country and time and again these teachers have sent mass memoranda to the UGC and HRD to retain the exemption. Moreover, in several States, appointments are being made now after lifting the ban. Also, the 14.6.2006 Regulations of UGC have exempted them. Further the final recommendations of Dr.Mungekar Committee have been submitted to the UGC and the recommendation is to have the exemption upto 30.6.2009, which is pending with the HRD Ministry. Hence the PRC’s recommendation of withdrawal cannot be retrospective from 1.1.2006 and not prospective even. The Expert Committee appointed by the UGC is there to take care of the same.

It is a great injustice that M. Phil., holders can not be exempted from NET/SET.

Anjali devdutt, papu and the last anonymous blogger (Selection Grade Asst. Prof.) has at last hit the nail on the head. They have seen through the great hoax of the Pay Review committee.....
#Readers/Selection Grade Lecturers (Presently Assoc. Prof./Selection Grade Asst. Profs.)have actually been DOWNGRADED INSTEAD OF A HIKE.They have been put in pay band 3 unlike their counterparts in administration/Scientists (E1) who incidentally have been placed in pay band 4.

Teaching community members please wake up to this hoax...and protest.

Incidentally the post of Lt. Col.in the armed forces had also previously been placed in Pay Band 3 and after protest now in Pay Band 4.

2008-10-13T22:23:00.000+05:30

I am a recently-retired Selection Grade Asst Professor whose pay was fixed at 14940 on 01-01-1996. In fact, I had become an SG Asst Professor in 1991 itself i.e. 5 years before the V UGC pay revision. Now, in the VI UGC pay revision--after 15 years of service in SG cadre--I am still clubbed with the new entrants. The report talks about the requirement of Ph.D qulification and bla bla instead of fixing PB-4 for teachers like me. The most senior teachers who are the panel members take vicarious pleasure in downgrading teachers like me. I am happy that, we, as a freak breed, are at least useful in giving such pleasure to Chatha & Company. May the Honorable Members of the Panel and their ilk live long to torture teachers like me who are unfortunate enough to be still in service!

2008-10-13T21:06:00.000+05:30

A REPORT BY THE PROFESSORS , FOR THE PROFESSORS

Chaddha report is by the professors , FOR THE PROFESSORS ONLY and devil TAKE THE READERS AND LECTURERS AND WHATEVER IS LEFT.
wE CAN NOW UNDERSTAND THAT the real Plan of UGC and G K Chadha PRC Report was to DIVIDE AND RULE , CREATE MORE HIEREARCHIES IN ACADEMIA , create differences between them so t hat they can't unite and fight and also in the process deny the third promotion to teachers something that has been close to the heart of UGC all along and it done so. It has introduced 3 types of professorial grades but no it will not give professors’ grade to college Readers.

At a time when the 6th Pay Commission has categorically stated that at least 3 assured promotions should be given to both the military and civilian govt employees the UGC through its G K Chadha PRC Commission is denying this or put conditionalities such as peer review , student assessment , selective implementation in P G colleges which would deny 3rd promotion. See what they have done to the Reader’s grade. The Rs 12000-420-18300 grade has been downgraded to PB – 3 whereas equivalent grades in Central govt which end at Rs18300 and surprisingly with Rs 400 as the increment annually have been without much ado been upgraded to the Rs. 37400 - 67000 i.e ., PB -4 band. Lower scales in the Central govt ( for e.g., old scales of S-24 such as 14300-400-18300 and S -25 of Rs 15100-400-18300 have been upgraded to Rs. 37400 - 67000 ) but teachers who have a higher increment of Rs 420 in the old scale of 12000-420-18300 have been downsized to Rs.15600 – 39100 If this is not discrimination then what is ? It is against rules of the government apart from being against the principles of natural justice

Teachers are the scums of the earth , so degraded that even existing scales should not be given the same upgradation as has been given to Central govt employess by the 6th CPC recently. It smacks of malafide intention.

Respected Prof. Chaddah,
As mentioned in the report for the computer professional, Kinly mention the grade / Scale (equvailent to Lecturer Scale) instead of designation, as mentioned in the report for computer professionals "System Analyst" only. UGC has sanction the post of "Programmer" in 1986 in grade of Lecturer and still they are working in same scale and desination. In the present report programmer will be junior from the "System Analyst" even though he is working in the Lecturer scale from last twenty years. "System Analyst" post have been created by UGC in 1996. Kindly make these changes.
