There is deep dissatisfaction among the researchers across the country about this move of UGC, claimed the association. “On the one hand the government talks about quality education with the aim of promoting the quality of research, while on the other hand, it is advising to appoint professors without a degree,” it said.
After the approval of the Professor of Practice, now a way has been opened to provide services in universities even without NET and Ph.D. This will affect the qualified researchers in higher education, who work hard for years and get a Ph.D. degree after five years, said DTA president Dr. Hansraj Suman.
