Dear Friends Much has already been discussed regarding the exemption of NET. Some people are in favor and some are against the UGC decision. This is very difficult to say that UGC decision is right or wrong because those who having PhD or going to complete their PhD in near future obviously welcome the UGC decision. But those who after a hard work cleared the NET/JRF certainly reject the exemption of NET idea of UGC. This is my observation that in each discipline or subject number of NETs is more than number of available posts. It means supply is higher than demand. Then what is the need of exemption of NET? If UGC is really interested to improve quality in teaching and research then NET must be compulsory for those who want to do PhD and the essential qualification for lectureship must be NET+PhD. A PhD Holder may be expert in a very small field on which he has done his work but for clearing NET he must be master of his subject and that is necessary for a good teacher. One thing I would like to share that UGC decision is good as far as the post of Asstt. Librarian is concerned because this is purely administrative post which requires practical experiences rather than theoretical knowledge. 50% post of Asstt. Librarians should be filled up through the internal promotion and rest 50% through the NET or PhD. This is my personal views based on my experiences. But I have also experienced that candidates having sound knowledge of their subjects but could not cleared the NET. But these are exceptional cases.
