Dear members, This has reference to LIS Forum message on NET Relief mooted for M.Phil and Ph.D holders. Since I am one among the candidates cleared the UGC NET/SLET, I would like to bring the followings to all members of the LIS forum. Proposing expemtion of UGC NET/SLET for appoinment as Lecturer/A.L or Librarian as the case may be is unfair as thousands of UGC NET/SLET passed hands are awaiting for their chances or working in self support institutes along with others. Particularly, in Tamil Nadu there are more than 100 hands with UGC NET/SLET awaiting for advertisement but no adds are coming. Few institutions are unable to appoint suitable hands as there are stays. Every year more than 2500 candidates pass the UGC NET/SLET. The UGC's website is the crystal clear evident for this. Now a days M.Phil and Ph.D degrees can also be completed through distance mode and part-time respectively. Any one who has passed the M.L.I.S can get addmitted in to these degrees. Spot admission, admission on the door steps and admission through private study centres are done now a days. Not less than 5000 candates per year complete M.Phil degree through distance mode. It is surprising to note that the candidates who are capable of obtaining M.Phil and Ph.D degrees are unable to clear the UGC NET/SLET but want exmption from this. No doubt that only meritorious candates are clearing the UGC NET/SLET. As suggested by Mr. S. Chakraborty, Kolkata and Anup Kumar Das, New Delhi, the professional associations can work for producing more NET/SLET passed candidates besides requesting the apex body to produce more numbers of the NET/SLET qualifieds instead of exemption. I strongly support the suggestions offered by Mr. S.Chakraborty and Anup Kumar Das. P. Mounissamy Tamil Nadu Message: 2 Date: Mon, 24 Apr 2006 14:34:00 +0100 (BST) From: "Prof. N.

I don't know much about south India, but in North India for every single post advertised, there is more than 100 NET/ SLET qualified applicants. Only one person will get the job and rest people will be left behind. The job market is not expanding enough in this sector where the persons will get permanent jobs with a proper UGC scale. So, there is no rationale to exempt NET/SLET clause for College Librarian/ Univ Asst. Librarian/ Lecturer post. Hope, UGC/ AICTE first give opportunities to NET/SLET qualified un-employed LIS professionals, then think of exemptions of non-qualified professionals.
