The executive council of the university on Tuesday overturned the decision of the Academic Council. According to this, there will be no written examination for recruitment to the posts of Assistant Professor.

The decision was taken by the Academic Council on August 4
A meeting of the Academic Council was held in the university on August 4. It was decided that this time a written examination would be conducted for the recruitment of Assistant Professors. In this, the registration of the qualified candidates will be screened and then interviews will be conducted on that basis. The council took this decision under the UGC Regulations 2018.
What did the Executive Council say?
The Executive Council did not approve the decision of the Academic Council. Most of the members of the Executive Council said that the UGC guidelines do not state that written examination is mandatory for the recruitment of Assistant Professors.
