PhD mandatory or not? Academicians divided on UGC’s eligibility criteria for appointing assistant professors

Sat ,Nov 20 2021 PhD mandatory or not

As per UGC’s latest rule, PhD degree will be mandatory for all those who wish to join University departments as assistant professors from 2023 onwards.

A debate has triggered earlier this month when Union education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan said that making PhD degree mandatory for the posting of assistant professors at Universities is “not favorable” during the current educational system.

The statement directly contradicted the University grants commission’s decision to make PhD degree a mandatory qualification for direct recruitment to the posting of assistant professor in the departments of Universities. The rule was to be applied this year but the date of applicability was extended from July 1, 2021, to July 1 2023 because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
