Early Times Report
Srinagar, Dec 11: The selection of Assistant Professors in various colleges of Jammu and Kashmir is all set to witness a major roadblock as the candidates who managed their degrees from outside universities with higher percentages would take the front seat, leaving the deserving ones in lurch.
The decades old policy of the Jammu and Kashmir Public Service Commission remains unchanged, according undue benefit to those candidates who have managed to get their post graduate degrees from outside that too with much higher percentage.
On the contrary, the candidates who have worked hard and secured degrees from Jammu and Kashmir that too in a regular mode would be undermined and not even considered for the selection. The main reason for such anarchy is the procedure in vogue in the state through which marks percentage are accorded to the candidates. In Jammu and Kashmir, the paper scrutiny is much tougher leaving even the toppers with mere 65 to 70 percent marks.
The candidates who have got their degrees from various private universities of north India that too in distance mode posses around 90 to 95 percent of the marks, thus leaving the deserving ones unattended
As per the norm, the recruitment policy of PSC, adopted in 1980s, gives 90 per cent weightage to marks obtained in post graduation by the applicants, among other eligibility criterion for the post of Assistant Professor in colleges, at the entry-level
Furthermore, the teaching eligibility test like NET (National eligibility test) holds no value in the PSC selection process, for the test carries no points.
The doctorate degree carries only 6 points out of 100, M.Phil carries 4 points and 10 points to other academic credentials.
Candidates who have studied from Jammu and Kashmir universities said that the age old policy of the PSC is putting their careers in danger as the distance mode degrees are entertained sans any scrutiny. "We qualify the university entrance exams and then only are admitted in the PG courses. We work hard to score good marks but on the other side the candidates who can spend money manage to get their degrees from outside universities that too with much higher percentage," says Bilal Ahmad, a PG and NET qualifier in Chemistry. He added that in the PSC, the marks are given the much weight without even verifying the degree certificates.
The candidates pitched that the interviews and written tests must be given higher weight-age than the PG marks.
But despite all these suggestions, the state government seems unmoved and in no mood to rectify the wrongs.
Latief-u-Zaman Deva, chairman of the Commission, says these rules have been laid long back and now it's difficult to change them. |
