UGC proposes 20% faculty in Central Universities from other states
by Rahul Hiremath 02 Feb '12

02 Feb '12

UGC proposes 20% faculty in Central Universities from other states The University Grants Commission has mooted that 20 per cent of faculty posts in Central Universities should be filled from candidates from states other than where these institutions are located. The step would not just allow faculty mobility but will also promote national integration and check regionalism. The commission is also planning incentives for universities which adopt this proposal and ensure diversity in faculty population. “Recruitment of faculty should not be entirely from products of the same university; on the contrary, at least 20 per cent of the faculty should be from other states,” the proposal adds. Another proposal of the apex regulator moots reserving 20 per cent of seats in Central Varsities for students from states other than where these institutions are located. UGC has also proposed the creation of an Office of International Relations and Foreign Student Facilitation Centres in each of them to facilitate foreign students’ enrollment. The universities may also be given funds to construct hostels to house international students; the only clause being there must be a minimum of 50 foreign students at each university.
