What if you go without teachers,&#8221; the court asked the counsel for UGC, PR Gopinathan.<\/p>\n<p>To this, Gopinathan said that in that, the case colleges concerned must write to UGC, which could relax the criteria or grant more time for complying with regulations.<\/p>\n<p>The matter relates to a contempt petition filed by a retired professor, I Elangovan, for non-compliance with the court&#8217;s April 29, 2014, order regarding appointment of qualified teaching staff in the colleges coming under the university.<\/p>\n<p>As per UGC Regulations of 2010, an assistant professor (formerly lecturer) shall have at least 55 per cent marks in post-graduate courses and possess NET\/SLET pass certificate, or a Ph.D from a recognised university, Gopinathan said.<\/p>\n<p>The petitioner had claimed that only about 25 per cent of the teaching staff in the over 118 university colleges were qualified to hold the assistant professor post.<\/p>\n<p>He said that UGC had not initiated any action despite specific orders of the court, pursuant to which the former had formed a five-member committee to go into the issue.<\/p>\n<p>The counsel for the university, however, said that much of the violations in minimum qualification criterion were noticed only in self-financing colleges and that the university had sent notices to all the erring colleges.<\/p>\n<p>They were expected to send in their replies by September 14, he added.<\/p>\n<p>Noting that UGC should conduct more random studies in this regard, the court posted the matter to November 26 for further proceedings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a shocking revelation, more than half of the 4,240 teaching staff in the colleges affiliated to Thiruvalluvar University in Vellore district have been found to be under-qualified, Madras High Court was informed today.
