I too support Dr. A T Francis in his opinion. Kerala University has permitted Part-Time PhD for teachers in Govt. and aided colleges in the Kerala State, for contract lecturers appointed in teaching and research centres attached to the University Depts., UIT centres and KUCTE and also to those working as Library Staff in the University of Kerala with a minimum of three years experience. It is quite a matter to think about. If UGC-NET is an essential qualification for college librarians in aided and Govt Colleges as it is required for the teaching staff, and if the college librarians are eligible to avail FIP as in the case of teaching staff in colleges, then why are they not given the chance to do part time PhD? Why only teaching staff are given that privilege? Authorities should really think over the matter and they should remember that if these aided and Govt colleges are offering Library and Information Science Courses, then these librarians definitely would have a chance for being a teaching professional. Then why this discrimination?? Chitra S.

UGC Cheated while Declaring UGC-NET June 2012 supplimentary results-reg.
by Kiran 19 Dec '12

19 Dec '12

Dear Professional Friends, The UGC declared UGC-NET June 2012 results two times. The supplementary results declared by the UGC has given remark as pass for the following General category students who have scored 63.43% instead of 65.00%. This has also happened in OBC and SC/ST Category also. For more information you can visit http://www.ugcnetonline.in/marksDisplay.php webpage and cross check the role numbers listed below (Supplementary result sheet). I want to ask how the UGC passed the students who scored less than 65.00% in General Category and Similarly in other category also. The role numbers listed 15590114, 16590087, 16590256, 17590023, 17590040, 10590014, 11590017, 12590048, 12590070, 12590074, 12590126, 1259018, 12590574, 12590669, 15590114, 16590087, 16590256, 17551494 have passed UGC by scoring 63.43% in General Category. The UGC has not announced on what criteria they have reduced the pass percentage form 65% to 63.43%. The UGC raised the qualifying marks to 15% in each category while announcing the results. Then how they passed 63.43% scored candidate that has to be clarified. The 63.43% cannot be rounded to 64.00% or 65.00%. The UGC is fooling the students by announcing results like this. Dear Professionals let us support Kerala High Court Decission and fight against UGC. -- *G.

STEP MOTHERLY TREATMENT TOWARDS THE LIBRARY SCIENCE PROFESSIONALS IN UNIVERSITY OF KERALA
by Dr. A.T. Francis 18 Dec '12

18 Dec '12

Dear all, University of Kerala has invited applications for PhD Registrations vide Notification No. Ac.E1.B1/16273/2012 dt. 10-12-2012. As per this, the following categories are permitted PhD Part-Time Registration: Part-Time Registration is permitted to Teachers in Govt. and aided colleges in the State of Kerala. Part-Time Registration in management studies is extended to those working in managerial position with a minimum of three years experience in Govt./Public Sector undertakings. Part-Time Registration is extended to contract lecturers appointed in teaching and research centres attached to the University Depts., UIT centres and KUCTE. Part-Time Registration in Library and Information Science is extended to those working as Library Staff in the University of Kerala with a minimum of three years experience. The University of Kerala and University of Calicut are the only universities in Kerala offering PhD Programme in Library and Information Science. KeralaUniversity is permitting staff of Companies for PhD programme. PhD being a statutory qualification for library staff, they are not permitted for part-time PhD!!!!!!!. Why many universities are putting negative clauses on the development of libraries as well the career development of library staff. Whether the university teachers and authorities are afraid on the career development of library staff?. While Librarians are designated as Scientists/Teachers in Central/State Govt. research institutions like DRDO, ISRO, KSCSTE, KFRI, CWRDM, TBGRI etc. and also in most of the universities in India, the librarians in universities and colleges in Kerala are categorized as non-teachers. The High Court of Kerala verdict states that the Librarians in KeralaAgriculturalUniversity are “Teachers” as per KAU Act. I am very much ashamed that the very meaning of “teaching” is not known to many so called academicians!!!. That is why library and librarians are categorized as non-teaching. Dr. A.T. FRANCIS, MCom, MLISc, NET, PhD HEAD, LIBRARY & IT NODAL OFFICER College of Horticulture Kerala Agricultural University Thrissur - 680 656, India, 91-9496839409 (m) francisaloor(a)yahoo.com -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
