| CUK tailors criteria to adjust blue eyed | | UGC norms violated | | Early Times Report
Jammu, May 2: The Central University of Kashmir (CUK) has reportedly devised its own criteria to adjust a blue-eyed candidate. Instead of advertising posts of contractual Assistant Professors with NET/SLET eligibility, it has advertised the posts of Teaching Assistant with Master's degree as eligibility.
Insiders informed Early Times that some faculty members of the university want to adjust a blue-eyed, so they violated the UGC guidelines and advertised Teaching Assistant posts instead of Associate and Assistant Professors.
As per advertisement, Department of Tourism Studies (CUK) requires Teaching Assistants for various courses in the B.Voc, Tourism and Hospitality Management Programme. The engagement of such faculty shall be for the academic session ending July 2018 and university has fixed eligibility criteria as Bachelor's Degree in Hospitality and Hotel Administration and Master's degree in Hospitality and Hotel administration/ Hotel Management/Masters in Tourism and Travel Management with not less than 60 percent marks in aggregate.
"However, hundreds of candidates in state have qualified PhD, NET in particular field but to adjust a blue eyed the university has violated UGC rules and tailored eligibility criteria to suit blue eyed candidate", sources said, adding that last time when university advertised same posts, hundreds of candidates including 20 candidates who qualified PhD, NET in Travel and Tourism Management applied for these posts but shockingly, the university administration ignored highly qualified candidates and selected one whose qualification was Master in Hotel Management.
B.Voc course is also taught in Central University of Jammu and their administration appointed teaching faculty as per UGC rules. The rules read that the University should use its regular faculty for the conduct of general education component and also for the skills components, if existing. Additionally, they may hire faculty on contractual basis and guest faculty in the core trades only as per UGC norms. There is a provision of One Associate Professor and Two Assistant Professors (purely on contractual basis during XII Plan period), under this scheme but astoundingly CUK administration throw UGC rules into bin.
CUK, Assistant Registrar Imtiyaz Ahmed Parray said that he has no knowledge regarding the advertisement. " You may contact Head of the Department (HoD) Tourism Studies" he averred. HoD, Tourism Studies, Prof. Fayyaz Sayyed however did not respond to repeated calls. |
