Dear Ratheesh, On analysis of your marks it seems that you would have passed UGC-NETearlier if your hand writing and presentation skills were good. Sunny Joseph, Govt.IASE,Thrissur.

DOOMS DAY-REG Reply to Sunny Joseph's message

Dear Sir you are absolutely Right! Thanks for the lucid explanation about my concern on the future of Librarianship in India. Librarianship in India has lost the ground created by father of library science in India Dr. S. R. Ranganathan. Being Indian we must be ashamed that we have deviated from the path shown by Dr. Ranganathan. Today library professionals are looked upon as mere clerks. the reason behind this solely the creations of our own faulty practices. The root of the cause lies at the very faulty system of attracting people to this profession. In India only those people opt for Librarianship (with few exception) who donot have a chance of getting admited to other lucrative courses. You have rightly pointed out that Library & Information Professionals have an edge over Computer Professionals. They are trained or ought to be trained in providing information pinpointedly, exhaustively and expediously. However many of the LIS Professionals are simply busy learning and adopting technology and forgetting the basic role of the LIS Professionals. No doubt technology is important and I am not against learning about technology, but at the same time we should be cautious that we donot forget the basics of Librarianship. But on one point I cannot agree with Sunny Joseph. The job requirements for a particular post cannot be the prerogative of any employer (lest it being a private employer). I think there are certain rules and norms set down by the Central Government for recruiting staff for various posts. Exisiting rules and norms shouldnot be violated. With this regards we have to certain that Government has clearcut rules and norms for for recruiting library personals. If such rules are twisted very now and then for library staff, then its a very sad situation and which must be opposed vehemently. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Niraj Barua Guwahati-781014 Assam INDIA 9435346637(Mobile) Email:niraj_barua@yahoo.co.in. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Regarding UGC-NET
by Dhanyasree V K 03 Jul '12

03 Jul '12

Dear professionals This is to express my strong disagreement with Mr. Vimal's observations regarding UGC-NET pattern. He says that earlier ugc-net was a mere "handwriting competition". Mr. Vimal should remember that Ist and IInd papers of NET were always objective type and the IInd paper is subject based. A candidate should qualify a minimum mark in each paper and a specific score in both the papers together for his 3rd paper to be evaluated. This means that a person who does not have knowledge of his subject cannot qualify NET. Moreover NET is a national level test for finding out capable candidates with enough subject knowledge and teaching aptitude. A person merely having good subject knowlede without adequate presentation skills cannot become a good teacher. From this point of view earlier pattern of 3rd paper was effective in testing the subject knowledge as well as the presentation skills of the candidates. In a descriptive paper, it is not important how much you write, it is rather more important what you write and how you present it. It is very obvious that a person with good subject knowledge and average presentation skills can easily qualify UGC-NET regardless of the pattern. Regarding 2012 June pattern of NET, it can be said to be more luck driven, as there was no negative marking. UGC should have executed the minimum responsibility to filter out those candidates who mark answers through mere guessing without any sound knowledge in the subject field. Negative marking could have solved this issue upto a limit. Moreover it is not good from the part of any professional to underestimate the subject knowledge of other professionals out of his/her own frustration. regards Dhanyasree Research and Teaching Assistant IGNOU headquarters New Delhi. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Reg UGC NET Exam
by rajesh kumar 03 Jul '12

03 Jul '12

Dear Professionals, I am not agree with the views expressed by Mr Vimal Kumar that present format of UGC NET Exam is far better than the previous ones. The new format would be better but this doesnt allow someone to draw this conclusion that those who have qualified the NET exam prior to the present format were merely calligraphers. Infact the former format was more difficult as one has to have good command over languages.This was a means to assess the expressiveness/communication skills besides the subject knowledge of the candidates. In my view comparison shouldnt be made on the ground that someone has good handwriting and that was the deciding factor only.I am a bad writer as far as calligraphy is concerned so obviously I shouldnt have qualified the UGC Test. My dear friend it is a test of understanding of the discipline.If someone has good command over subject but his handwriting is poor he may qualify the test,however in the reverse situation if someone has poor knowledge of subject but his writing is excellent then there is no guarantee that he would qualify the test. The large number of response by the candidates against this new format shows how they were enthusiastic about this objective type test. Later IPU was compelled to allow offline mode of application as their server got blocked.This overwhelming response is quite appreciable at one end however on the other end it also shows that this format was somehow assumed easier.I personally know many LIS professional who approved this fact. But I dont approve that this format would be easier rather it is going to be very tough as it demands through and comprehensive hold over the discipline same as in the case of previous format. I may only say knowledge is supreme not format. regards Rajesh K Pandey ICMR, New Delhi -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
