Dear Mr. Muthu, According to AICTE, the prescribed qualifications for the post of Librarian in an Engineering Colleges is MLISc and NET/SLET means as per UGC norms... But... It is mention in clarifications by AICTE that candidates having first class at MLISc can be exempted from NET/SLET. So, If they have asked for NET/SLET, it is not against any rule or circular... as the basic qualification mentioned there is as per UGC norms... and If you are having first class you may ask for exemption... attaching the copy of clarifications... Please go through the circulars and clarifications available at www.mlsc.co.nr for more details... 2009/3/23 Hi This is Muthu (ಮುತ್ತುರಾಜ.ಎಸ್) 9844110722

Dear all, I just wanted to know, what is the prescribed qualifications for the post of Librarian in an engineering colleges, which are affiliated to AICTE? Recently Karnataka Public Service Commission (KPSC) had called for 9 posts of Librarian in government engineering colleges in Karnataka State. In that, it had mentioned that NET/SLET is must for the post of Librarian and Physical educational personnel in an engineering colleges. Whereas for the post of lecturers in non-engineering disciplines like English, geology, Chemistry, maths etc. are exempted from NET/SLET, if they have Mphil or PhD degree. My question is Why the same criteria is not applied for the post of Librarian? Is it violation of AICTE norms? Can any one go to the court of law for verdict? What can we do for this? Kindly provide us the necessary details regarding qualifications as per AICTE norms for the post of librarian. Thank you,
