According to an official, the University Grants Commission (UGC) aims to develop a system in which industry specialists can teach as full-time or part-time faculty members in central universities. It has also been advocated that specialists without a Ph.D. or NET qualification be permitted to teach in institutions.
Special posts, such as professor of practise and associate professor of practise, would be created, according to the source. According to the proposal, experts who are willing to teach can be hired as full-time or part-time faculty members, depending on the needs of the university, according to the official, who also added that those who have retired at the age of 60 will be eligible for these positions and will be able to work until the age of 65.
This was discussed at the UGC chairman's meeting with the vice-chancellors of central universities on Thursday. According to the source, the UGC will organise a committee to investigate how this might be accomplished and will present its findings. There are also plans to create a site that would serve as a single point of entry for those interested in applying to universities.
Professor Abha Dev Habib of Delhi University slammed the action, claiming that the government is "freeing itself from the pressure of providing permanent posts to talented instructors."
"Teachers who have been teaching for a number of years are not considered "experts" and cannot be hired on a permanent basis or even be considered for permanent interviews (as is the case in many Delhi University departments).
People labelled "experts" by the BJP-RSS, on the other hand, can be inserted into any system "In a Facebook post, she stated. "A move towards demolishing higher education," tweeted Aishe Ghosh, president of the Jawaharlal Nehru University Students' Union. A Ph.D. is required to get into a university as a professor or associate professor, according to the UGC minimum criteria for appointment of teachers and other academics.
