Re: [LIS-Forum] UGC-NET: necessary changes and amendments
by Chitra Vimal 24 Jan '12

24 Jan '12

Dear friends It is really good that people are sharing their views on this topic. UGC NET examination is mainly aimed at qualitative screening but this does not mean that those who have qualified NET are always good in teaching. Also to mention, those who have a thorough knowledge of the subject might not have the ability to transfer the knowledge efficiently to students. Already there are two objective papers in UGC examination. These papers can (though not completely) measure the subject knowledge/ general awareness of a person. Moreover, anyone who can by heart model objective questions from guides and with a good memory can qualify objective papers. This is not the case with descriptive questions. It analyzes the ability of a candidate to consolidate and effectively express in writing, his/her ideas of the subject and these are the skills that a librarian should essentially possess. This quality is not expected of a teacher alone. Subjective type measures the subject knowledge as well because we cannot expect a person without sufficient subject knowledge to express ideas specifically. Incorporating teaching skills (essential for teachers) in library science course is a good idea but at the same time it is important to remember that subjects such as Technical Writing (for librarians) are already included as part of MLISc. What I feel is, the evaluation process of descriptive paper should be reviewed and streamlined in order to attain better results. Whether UGC qualified /not, may not be the only reason why groupism prevails in academic or any other libraries. Hence, I think the current scheme of evaluation should continue, so that UGC aspirants work hard for attaining deeper knowledge of the subject as well as other skills such as interpretation, consolidation of knowledge, effective writing and so on. One more point to mention here. I would like to know if anyone who have qualified UGC NET are of the opinion that descriptive paper should be avoided and it would be good if they share their opinion as well.

Re: [LIS-Forum] UGC-NET: necessary changes and amendments
by Muruli N 24 Jan '12

Dear professionals. Firstly I am thankful to all other reviewers who have been sharing their valuable opinions regarding above subject, which force me to think over the same. I agree with the opinions of Dr. Vasanth raju, Vinith Kumar, Vimal Kumar and other which support the current pattern (subjective type). According to me it is the best method and it will be the universal method than the other one. The reason is, subjective type is a writing method where we will get wide choice of tone to express our views on a specific concept. This method will have the opinion which comes from inside the mind not from our memory and it reflects our personal opinion. While in Objective method no need to worry about knowledge. If he/she has good remembering skill it?s enough to qualify NET. I sincerely request UGC to continue the current pattern instead of moving to new one. Otherwise new changes will encourages NET aspirants to mug up whole syllabus, instead of understanding the real concept, then LIS subject will become like "Why this Kolaveri Di" song!

Re: [LIS-Forum] UGC-NET: necessary changes and amendments
by Ratheesh K 24 Jan '12

Dear Vimal/Friends, The following is an analysis of Mr. Vimal's opinion - posting in lis forum - with my views,kindly take it as a positive discussion: Vimal: Very few teaching positions available for Library Science candidates. Me: This matter is not at all related with objective or descriptive model of UGC NET Vimal: Conveying interpreting idea in simple manner is a different skill, it has no relation with skill in writing descriptive answers Me: Current Descriptive analysis model is the only possible method to convey/interpret ideas and its presentation/ communication, it is not at all possible in a objective model. Vimal: After qualifying UGC NET candidates do not automatically get teaching skills. Me: No skill will get automatically, UGC NET is only a litmus of quality/std. Vimal: I know many library professionals who are acting as good resource persons. They have not acquired UGC NET, but they successfully convey ideas in training programmes. I know many library professionals holding UGC NET with poor professional skills. Me: Training programs and class room teaching is different, for conducting a training program, person with an expertise in an area/method/software etc. is enough, while in the case of teaching he/she should have a comprehensive/depth idea over different areas of the subject. Vimal: I observed that, two type of groups among library professionals in every academic libraries especially university libraries; NET holders and MLISc holders. NET holders observes others as degraded people. Whenever result of UGC NET announced, winners join with the elite group of NET holders. War between these two groups are very common in every university libraries. Growth of library is freeze or stopped due to group war. It create bad image among academic communities. Me: If there is (cold) war between NET holders and others prevails, it should be stopped by ensuring appropriate/due consideration/increments/promotions etc. to the qualified hands. Vimal: If library professionals lack teaching skills, inclusion of teaching skills paper in MLISc course is a good idea, All universities in India follows the prescribed syllabus from UGC for MLISc programme. It says that, main aim of UGC NET is quality maintenance. Library Science teachers are UGC NET holders. If they failed to inculcate quality among MLISc students, it means UGC NET examination is a failure. If so, what is the relevance of UGC NET examination? Me: I also agree that all teachers are not up to the level as prescribed the UGC, but this is applicable to all subjects, not limited to the library science. But I can firmly tell you one thing that NET mandatory period is far better than the previous Non NET period. Vimal: UGC NET is a conventional test, it act as a barrier in front of library science students and working professionals. NET examination is a source of revenue for UGC. Publishers of guide books are also harvesting good profit during examination time. Me: some conventional methods are far better than the model shortcuts... UGC NET is not at all a barrier for the professionals/students if they are ready to work with perseverance. UGC is a big institution under MHRD with an outlook over quality higher education in the country, they have enormous revenue sources. About publishers: they publish and sells books either its(NET) objective or descriptive.. In short, I generally dis-agree with Mr.Vimal and argue for the current descriptive model UGC-NET Examination.
