More weightage for graduation marks
A major area of concern from aspiring university or college teachers is the move to count performance in graduation (degree courses) for selection of assistant professors.
Instead of the existing qualification formula of Post Graduation, M.Phil., Ph.D., NET with JRF, NET, Research Publications and Teaching/Post Doctoral Experience, the draft has proposed to consider graduation marks too. It proposed candidates who have secured 80% and above marks in graduation stands to get a weightage or score of 21 while those who secure 60% to less than 80% will be given a score of 19 during the interview.
DNA reported that a section of ad-hoc teachers working in Delhi University called these screening guidelines are highly discriminatory. They complained about the marking systems where candidates used to get less percentage of marks in the past.
According to The Telegraph, some academics called the norms "regressive" and "biased" against the poor and they said, "candidates from rural or disadvantaged backgrounds don't often perform well in their graduation and might be affected by the proposed selection formula".
