(ii)  No one shall be eligible to be appointed, promoted or designated as Professor, unless he or she possesses a Ph.D.  and satisfies other academic conditions,  as  laid down by the University Grants Commission (UGC)  from  time  to time. This shall, however, not affect those who are already designated as ‘Professor’.

No new Departments shall be created in UG or PG Colleges without prior approval of the UGC.

(v)  Up  to  10%  of  the  posts  of  Professors  in  universities  shall  be  in  the  higher Academic Grade Pay of Rs. 12000 with eligibility conditions to be prescribed by the UGC.

(vi)  National Eligibility Test (NET) shall be compulsory for appointment at the entry level of Assistant Professor, subject to the exemptions to the degree of Ph.D.  in respect of those persons obtaining the award through a process of registration, course-work and external  evaluation,  as  have  been/  or  may  be  laid  down  by  the  UGC  through  its regulations,  and  so  adopted  by  the  University.  NET shall not be required for such Masters’ programmes in disciplines for which there is no NET.
