JKPSC has mentioned criterion of academic qualification as per UGC regulations according to which 75 marks for written test, 15 marks for interview and only 10 marks for academic qualification that includes UG/PG/NET/SET/SLET/Ph D/Experience shall be given.
“Just only 10 marks for academic qualifications which include UG/PG/NET/ SET/PhD/ Experience and only 2 marks for PhD holders is not acceptable,” said the ABVP leader and demanded that the JKPSC should modify the rule and give more weightage to PhD holders and the points of PhD should be increased.
Mukesh Manhas said that the JKPSC should withdraw the controversial order and all those candidates who have been short listed for AP and PTI teacher’s should be given a chance to appear in the interview.
Ramnik Sharma, State Joint Secretary of ABVP said that research plays an important role in country’s growth and to produce more researchers, it requires professors or supervisors in higher education from research background. “But new policy of JKPSC is running on moving towards some other direction and the new rule is “discriminatory” and has created anxiety among the aspirants who possess M Phil and PhD degree as well.
Research Scholars Ravail Parihar, Bhushan Sharma and Kuljeet Shan also addressed the press conference.
