Ad-hoc teachers flag concern over DU guidelines

As per the guidelines, under the screening, only those candidates will be called for the interview whose API (academic performance indicators) score is 65 for General and OBC categories, and 60 for SC/ST category.Now, as the API score of PhD holders “will be higher” as compared to those without PhD, many ad-hoc teachers who are working for years on the basis of MA, M.Com, LLM, M.Ed NET-JRF are concerned about the provision.Forum of Academics for Social Justice, citing the Ministry of Education’s recent statement that PhD is not mandatory in the appointments of teachers, has written to the DU Vice Chancellor and raised the issue. It has demanded that all the ad-hoc teachers who are associated with departments and colleges for years on the basis of post graduate degrees or NET-JRF as assistant professors be called for interview.
