Dear Ms. Lalitha, For promotions under the Career Advancement Scheme (CAS) of UGC, one has to complete Two Refresher Courses or Summer/ Winter School Programmes of 03 weeks duration (minimum 18 working days with 108 contact classes). Short Term Courses of 01 Week duration will not be considered for the purpose. Nowadays, you can attend ARPIT Courses on SWAYAM Platform in lieu of UGC Refresher Courses. The UGC is planning to reduce the number of days from the present 21 days (3 weeks) to 14 days (2 weeks). I hope this information clarifies your query.

Dear Professional Colleagues,

I need some clarification with respect to UGC - Career Advancement Scheme(CAS) guidelines for Librarians.Under CAS promotions for Assistant Librarian (Rs.15600-39100+ AGP 8000), one of the clause says, "*attended two refresher courses for a minimum period of 3 to 4 week duration during the assessment period*".

Mostly Refresher courses are designed for 2 or 3 weeks only. Does the clause infer that a total of 3 to 4 week training should be attended OR a total of 6 to 8 week training should be attended during the assessment period? Can One week short term courses / Faculty Development Programmes also can be accounted for assessment?

Kindly enlighten me on the above topic with your experiences.

Thanks and Regards

V.Lalitha Asst. Professor University Library JNTU Hyderabad
