NET/SLET Must for Lectureship-UGC Norms

To ensure that institutions get quality faculty, the UGC has decided to bring in stricter norms for lectureship and introduce uniform regulation for Ph.D programmes.

As per the new norms on minimum qualifications for appointment of teachers, NET or SLET would be made mandatory for PG and M.Phil holders for joining lectureship.

However, only Ph.D holders, who have pursued the course as per the UGC's regulation on Ph.D programmes, will get exemption from clearing NET or SLET.
