UGC News: In a significant move, the University Grants Commission (UGC) has proposed new guidelines that will allow individuals holding postgraduate degrees in Master of Engineering (M.E.) and Master of Technology (MTech), with a minimum of 55% marks, to be directly recruited as Assistant Professors without the need to qualify for the National Eligibility Test (NET).
The draft norms suggest that industry experts and senior professionals from fields such as public administration and public policy may soon be eligible for appointment as Vice Chancellors, broadening the criteria for leadership roles in higher education.
