Good News for PhD Scholars of India

by UGC
 Post Views: 366,671

Now PhD research period is also teaching

experience: UGC
Period spent on acquiring a PhD degree without any leave will now be
counted as teaching experience of candidates applying for direct
recruitment to vacant positions of faculties or promotion in the higher
educational institutions.

The University Grants Commission (UGC) recently approved a proposal in

this regard at a meeting here.

“The period of active service spent on

pursuing research degree, i.e, for acquiring
PhD degree simultaneously without taking
any kind of leave may be counted as
teaching experience for the purpose of
direct recruitment/promotion to the post of
associate professor and above.” the
commission decided .

The commission’s decision was seen in the

academic circles as an effort to primarily
facilitate �lling up of posts lying vacant in
large numbers across the country’s
universities and other higher educational
institutions.

Many of the universities and other higher educational institutions demand

at least two to three years teaching experience for recruitment to vacant
posts of faculties.

“We have large number of unemployed meritorious PhD holders. The

decision to treat the period spent by them in acquiring a PhD degree as
teaching experience will not only open doors of employment to many of
such degree holders, but also facilitate institutions �ll up their teaching
positions lying vacant for years,” of�cial sources said.
