956 - Est. Circular 03-2012

The University Grants Commission (UGC) document outlines new requirements for appointing lecturers under Category 4 of the recruitment scheme. Category 4 allows for candidates with lesser qualifications to be considered if others are unavailable or unsuitable. However, the UGC noted recommendations were often made without valid reasons. Therefore, higher education institutions must now submit documentation like advertisements, candidate qualifications, and selection procedures when recommending Category 4 appointments for UGC approval. Recommendations without these documents will not be considered.

RECRUITMENT

In terms of the schemes of recruitment circulated with Commission Circular No. 721 of 21 st November 1997, applicants with lesser qualifications could be considered for appointment as Probationary Lecturers under category 04 of the scheme of recruitment if candidates under other three categories are not available or found to be unsuitable by the Selection Committee after interview and evaluation as mentioned in Establishments Circular Letter No. 08/2005 of 11 th August 2005. This provision has been further amended subject to conditions stipulated in Commission Circular No.935 of 25 th October 2010. However, the Commission noted that in the recent past, recommendations were often made by Universities and Institutes for UGC approval to make appointments of candidates to the post of Lecturer(Prob) in various disciplines under category 4 of the scheme of recruitment without valid reasons being adduced to substantiate the manner in which such selections were made. Therefore, the Commission at its 822 nd meeting held on 24.02.2011 having considered the matter of recruitment of Lecturers (Prob) under category 4 of the Scheme of Recruitment decided to allow such recruitments by the Universities only under special circumstances subject to obtaining special approval of the UGC as at present. Hence, Higher Educational Institutions/Institutes are required to submit the following documents in respect of the appointments to be made under category 04 of the scheme of recruitment in future for consideration of the Commission;
