UGC lowers NET criteria for OBC students--Source: Indian Express, 28 FEb 2014

UGC lowers NET criteria for OBC students

SUMMARY

OBC candidates will now be on a par with SC/ST candidates who also enjoy a 55 per cent qualifying score.

The University Grants Commission Thursday approved a key proposal to lower eligibility criteria for OBC students appearing for the National Eligibility Test (NET) that determines entry into teaching at higher education institutes.

While so far, OBC candidates appearing for NET had to score a minimum of 60 per cent to be eligible, they will now be given a 5 per cent relaxation. OBC candidates with 55 per cent aggregate scores in three subjects will now be able to appear. OBC candidates will now be on a par with SC/ST candidates who also enjoy a 55 per cent qualifying score.

The relaxation for OBC candidates has been given keeping in mind that a number of OBC and SC/ST teaching positions remain vacant. There are over 40 per cent faculty vacancies across Central universities and the bulk are said to be in the SC/ST and OBC category. The move is also driven following a court case where this issue was brought up.

The UGC also approved Private Universities Regulation that will now bring them under greater control of the higher education regulator. The new regulations say private universities will no longer be able to offer open and distance learning courses as there are serious commercial angles to them. The new regulations propose to place a new restriction on state private universities — that they seek concurrence of UGC before offering a new academic programme. They will also have to seek the concurrence of both the UGC and the Union HRD Ministry before opening an off campus or off shore campus, sources said.

Supreme Court relief to NET candidates

In a relief to thousands of aspirants takingthe national eligibility test (NET), the UGC has withdrawn its decision to increase the cut-off marks for clearing the NET, following a Supreme Court order on Friday. The UGC had increased the eligibility score by 15% without notice.

The national educational testing bureau of the UGC conducts the NET for determining the eligibility for lectureship and for awarding junior research fellowship to ensure minimum standards for the entrants in the teaching profession and research. The NET is conducted in June and December every year.

The UGC, however, made several changes in the June 2012 exam, including increasing the cut-off marks. The candidates learnt about the changes only when the UGC announced it a day after announcing the results of the exam on September 18.

As per the initial notification, candidates belonging to the SC/ST sections needed 35, 35, and 60 marks respectively for qualifying papers 1, 2 and 3. The marks to be obtained by the OBCs were set as 35, 35, and 68 and for those belonging to the general category it was 40, 40, and 75. But, when the results were announced, candidates who would've been eligible as per the initial criteria failed to qualify.

As per the new criteria, the percentage of marks to be scored by candidates belonging to different categories has been increased by 15%.

This made several students file an affidavit with the SC against the UGC regarding change in norms. On Friday, the SC issued an order saying that the UGC's decision was invalid as it did not follow the exam policy in announcing the changes in cut-offs and that, too, in such a short period of time. An official at the University of Pune that conducts the NET exam said, "The SC decision is valid for all candidates who sat for the June 2012 examinations. The old cut-offs will be considered and new results will be announced."

WHY FILING PETITION AGAINST UGC IN COURTS ?

Recently,

I have seen several posts regarding filing petition against UGC in courts.

I think candidates are enthusiastic by Kerala high court verdict.

But, wait.

The game is not over yet..

UGC decision is yet to come. Its a statutory body.

Dear friends, what do you think about the situation,

if there is 1 Lakh NET qualified  candidate per session June & December?

.after that for 1 post 1000 candidate will apply.

All of you are demanding reduction of qualifying marks.

In objective mode without negative marking, its not a big deal to score 40+40+75 (UR) and less for Quota candidates.

If your luck favours, U may score easily.

I am just asking 1 question.

How many of you can challenge me that "I HAVE ANSWERED ALL THE QUESTIONS CONFIDENTLY. I WAS 100% SURE ABOUT THE OPTION I HAVE CHOSEN"

I can bet that if UGC re-examine the answer script with negative marking, the result count will come to 30%

Madras University Library Celebrations draw flak

The library of the University of Madras is now embroiled in yet another controversy with senior professors raising questions about the timing of the post-centenary celebrations slated for September 25.

The fete takes place even as the library has remained headless for about four years with several big ticket projects struggling to take off.

Sources in the university said that the celebrations have been organised 5 years after the library completed its centenary in 2007. About Rs 9 lakh had been sanctioned for the event. However, what has raised eyebrows is the timing, as vice-chancellor G Thiruvasagam’s tenure is set to end in October.

Speaking to Express, a senior professors said the historic library has been in neglect as far as administration is concerned. While the last full-fledged librarian retired in 2008, the post remained vacant ever since. This was despite two rounds of advertisements calling for applications. Also, there was an attempt recently by the administration to promote a deputy librarian to the post of librarian, which was defeated.

Statutes, a Syndicate member pointed out, clearly stated that the post could only be filled by direct recruitment and not through promotion.

A senior Senate member said the digitization of theses that began in 2006 was halted half way for two years and has now been restarted after negotiations with the contractor.

This apart, while an UGC notification in 2009 provided for electronic submission of theses by students through an MoU with the INFLIBNET centre, no efforts have been made to carry forward this project.

“Over 70 Universities have already done it. If MU had gone ahead, assistance would have been provided for installing anti-plagiarism software in the library, improving the overall quality of research scholars,” said a senior Senate member, who wished not to be named. While the V-C had promised the installation of the software last year, efforts on this front had been wanting, the member said.

Another project that has failed to take off is the introduction of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags for efficient cataloguing, now in place in almost all major varsities in the country.

Senior professors said while the focus should have been on recruitment of a qualified librarian and the implementation of all modernization projects, for which Rs 3.20 crore was allocated, the varsity was going ahead in a hurried manner with the celebrations, five years after the library completed its centenary. Vice-chancellor G Thiruvasagam could not be contacted for comments.

क्या वाकई जरूरत है नए पैटर्न की!

यूजीसी नेट परीक्षा

प्रो. जय कौशल एक प्राध्यापक, जिसका पेशा ही लिखना और समझाना है, अगर बिना विश्लेषणात्मक लेखकीय जांच पूरी किए सिर्फ रटकर अध्यापन के पेशे में आ जाएगा तो वह अपने छात्रों को कैसा लेखन और पठन-पाठन सिखाएगा, इसका अनुमान लगाया जा सकता है कहीं ऐसा तो नहीं कि यूजीसी द्वारा नेट परीक्षा का जल्दी परिणाम घोषित न कर पाने की समस्या से निजात पाना असली एजेंडा न हो, बल्कि ‘अपने’ कुछ लोगों को किसी तरह सिस्टम में प्रविष्ट कराना मूल मंतव्य हो       यूजीसी द्वारा इस बार जून माह में राष्ट्रीय पात्रता परीक्षा (नेट) बहुविकल्पीय प्रश्नों के बदले हुए पैटर्न पर आयोजित की गई। अब तक इसके प्रथम और द्वितीय पत्र में ही बहुविकल्पीय (मल्टीपल च्वाइस) प्रश्न पूछे जाते थे। पहला पेपर जहां अभ्यर्थी के सामान्य ज्ञान की जांच करता था, वहीं दूसरे में उम्मीदवार द्वारा चुने गए विषय के बहुविकल्पीय और तीसरे में वर्णनात्मक (डिस्क्रिप्टिव ) प्रश्न होते थे। गौरतलब है कि बदले पैटर्न में प्रश्नपत्रों की संख्या और समय नहीं बदला गया है।       पहले पेपर में जनरल नेचर, टीचिंग/रिसर्च एप्टीट्यूड, रीजनिंग एबिलिटी, कॉम्प्रिहेंशन व जनरल अवेयरनेस पर आधारित साठ प्रश्न पूछे जाने हैं, जिनमें से पचास करने होते हैं; जबकि दूसरा प्रश्नपत्र उम्मीदवार द्वारा चुने गए विषय से संबंधित होता है। इसमें कुल पचास प्रश्न होते हैं और सभी को हल करना आवश्यक है। उक्त दोनों पत्रों के लिए सवा घंटे का समय निर्धारित है। अंतिम पेपर ढाई घंटे का होता है, जिसके वर्णनात्मक पैटर्न को हटाकर इस बार से उसे भी बहुविकल्पीय बना दिया गया है। इसमें पचहत्तर बहुविकल्पीय प्रश्न होते है। सभी प्रश्न अनिवार्य हैं। बस, ‘नेगेटिव मार्किंग’ नहीं रखी गई है।      यूजीसी की 22 दिसम्बर, 2011 को हुई बैठक में नेट मॉडरेशन कमेटी द्वारा नेट के तीसरे प्रश्नपत्र में भी विस्तृत के स्थान पर वैकल्पिक प्रश्नों की व्यवस्था की सिफारिश की गई थी। समिति का तर्क था कि तीसरे प्रश्नपत्र के मूल्यांकन की मौजूदा व्यवस्था में लगने वाले समय के कारण परिणाम लगातार विलम्ब से जारी हो रहा है। ऐसे में बेहतर होगा कि इस पेपर को भी ऑब्जेक्टिव किया जाए। इससे परीक्षा में पारदर्शिता के साथ ही परिणाम शीघ्र जारी किए जाने का रास्ता खुलेगा। इस हेतु तृतीय पत्र का एक प्रारूप भी यूजीसी को अपनी वेबसाइट पर उपलब्ध कराना था, जो अंत तक नहीं आया। सबके मुंह पर एक ही सवाल था कि जब दूसरे और तीसरे दोनों ही पेपर में विषय के बहुविकल्पीय प्रश्न पूछे जाने हैं, तो यह तीसरा पेपर दूसरे से किस रूप में भिन्न रहेगा! पेपर देखने और परीक्षार्थियों से पूछने पर पता भी चला कि दूसरे और तीसरे प्रश्नपत्रों के पैटर्न में कोई अंतर नहीं था। कुछ का तो कहना था कि कुछ प्रश्न दोनों पत्रों में रिपीट तक हो गए हैं। माना कि दोनों पत्रों के पाठ्यक्रम छोटे- बड़े हैं, किंतु विषय तो एक ही है। क्या सवालों की संख्या कम-ज्यादा रख देने से कोई भिन्नता आ सकती है?       जब विषय के दूसरे और तीसरे पेपरों में एक जैसे सवाल पूछने थे, तो तीसरा पेपर लेने का औचित्य क्या है? हालत यह रही कि बहुत सारे छात्रों ने तीसरे पत्र को एक से डेढ़ घंटे में ही निपटा लिया था। इस कदम का सर्वाधिक फायदा गाइड बनाने वालों को हुआ, प्रकाशकों ने अपनी-अपनी गाइडों को नए पैटर्न के आधार पर तैयार बताकर तत्काल तीसरे पेपर का संस्करण निकाल दिया और जमकर चांदी काटी। यूजीसी ने शायद बहुविकल्पीय प्रश्नों का यह पैटर्न वैज्ञानिक तथा औद्योगिक अनुसंधान परिषद (सीएसआईआर) की देखा-देखी लिया है, जो मुख्यत: विज्ञान से संबंधित विषयों में नेट परीक्षा का आयोजन करती है। पर न तो यूजीसी ने सीएसआईआर के विषयवार अंक-विभाजन को ध्यान में रखा और न ही उसकी नेगेटिव मार्किंग को। सीएसआईआर-नेट में तीन घंटे का एक ही पेपर होता है, अलबत्ता उसके तीन भाग (पार्ट) कर दिए गए हैं। बीस प्रश्नों का ‘पार्ट ए’ कॉमन रखा गया है, जिसमें पंद्रह प्रश्न करने अनिवार्य होते हैं। हरेक प्रश्न दो अंकों का है। ‘पार्ट बी’ और ‘सी’ विषयवार अलग-अलग हैं। साथ ही बहुविकल्पीय प्रश्नों के बावजूद सीएसआईआर ने अपने हर विषय की प्रश्न- संख्या, उसका अंक-विभाजन और नकारात्मक अंकन पण्राली अलग-अलग रखी है। किंतु, यूजीसी ने यह पैटर्न अपनाते समय विषयों का तकनीकी पक्ष बिल्कुल भुला दिया है।      चूंकि, सीएसआईआर-नेट द्वारा आयोजित सारे विषय विशुद्ध विज्ञान के हैं, इसलिए बहु विकल्पीय पैटर्न होने पर भी वहां रटने की गुंजाइश नहीं है। हर सवाल का हल पूरी कैलकुलेशन और बौद्धिक कसरत के बाद निकलता है। इसलिए चाहे पैटर्न वर्णनात्मक रहे अथवा बहुविकल्पीय, अभ्यर्थी को उतनी ही मेहनत करनी है। किंतु, यूजीसी के अधिकतर विषय या तो मानिवकी के हैं या समाज विज्ञान के। कुल 94 में 37 विषय तो सिर्फ भाषा और साहित्य के हैं। आठ-दस विज्ञान और प्रबंधन से जुड़े विषयों के अतिरिक्त बाकी सारे विषय समाज-विज्ञान के हैं, जहां मुद्दों की गंभीर समझ ज्यादा जरूरी है, न कि कैलकुलेशन और प्रेक्टिस की। ऐसे में, यूजीसी द्वारा अपनाया गया यह पैटर्न कितना कारगर है, स्वत: स्पष्ट है। क्या यूजीसी इसे अपनाकर मानिवकी और समाज विज्ञान की दुनिया में रट्टू तोतों की फौज तैयार नहीं कर रही है, जो आगे चलकर उच्च शिक्षा के एक बड़े हिस्से का भविष्य तय करने वाले हैं! एक तो हमारी शिक्षा-पण्राली ही ऐसी है, जो छात्रों को पाठ्य- पुस्तकें पढ़ने के लिए ज्यादा प्रेरित करती नजर नहीं आती। स्कू ल और कॉलेज स्तर तक तो रटकर आराम से काम चल जाता है।      हर जगह ऐसी गाइडों का बोलबाला है, जो परीक्षा से एक-दो सप्ताह पूर्व बाजार में आती हैं। उनमें अध्यापकों आदि से संपर्क कर और पिछले प्रश्न-पत्रों को देखकर कुछ ऐसे प्रश्नोत्तर दिए होते हैं कि परीक्षा में उससे दो-तीन प्रश्न फंस ही जाते हैं। जाहिर है, जब कम पढ़ने से भी उत्तीर्णाक लाए जा सकते हैं तो कोई पाठ्य- पुस्तकों से माथापच्ची क्यों करे? यह तो रही ‘शॉर्टकट’ अपनाकर पास होने वालों की असलियत। इसके अलावा जिन्हें बहुत अच्छे अंकों से पास होना है और पैसे वाले भी हैं, वे ट्यूशन और कैप्सूल कोर्स कराने वालों के पास पहुंच जाते हैं। वहां भी छात्रों को संभावित प्रश्नों को लिखवा-रटवा दिया जाता है। बहुत अच्छे अंक लाने वाले, यहां तक कि मेरिट में आने वालों का भी यह एक पक्ष है, पाठ्य-पुस्तकों की दुर्गति का तो है ही। पाठ्य- पुस्तकों से नोट्स बनाकर तैयारी करने वालों का प्रतिशत बहुत कम है।      ऐसे में यूजीसी-नेट परीक्षा का यह नया पैटर्न हमारी रट्टू संस्कारों वाली पीढ़ी को ही आगे बढ़ाने में सहायक सिद्ध होगा। दरअसल, राष्ट्रीय स्तर की यह परीक्षा कॉलेज और विविद्यालयों में प्राध्यापकनि युक्ति की जरूरी सीढ़ी है। किसी भी अध्यापक का मुख्य काम लिखना और बोलना ही होता है। लेकिन यूजीसी के इस कदम से अभ्यर्थियों की विश्लेषण क्षमता की परीक्षा नहीं हो सकेगी। इसका प्रारूप केट, गेट, पीएमटी, पीईटी आदि प्रतियोगी-परीक्षाओं जैसा हो गया है, जो यूजीसीनेट/ जेआरएफ जैसी परीक्षा के कतई अनुकूल नहीं लगता। कहना यह है कि एक प्राध्यापक, जिसका पेशा ही लिखना और समझाना है, अगर बिना विश्लेषणात्मक लेखकीय जांच पूरी किए सिर्फ रटकर अध्यापन के पेशे में आ जाएगा तो वह अपने छात्रों को कैसा लेखन और पठन- पाठन सिखाएगा, इसका अनुमान लगाया जा सकता है! पूछा तो यह भी जा सकता है कि जो उक्त मानक पूरा करके आए हैं, वे ही कितने योग्य हैं। इसलिए समस्या का हल कम से कम पूरे पैटर्न को ऑब्जेक्टिव कर देना कतई नहीं है। कहीं ऐसा तो नहीं कि जल्दी परिणाम न घोषित कर पाने की समस्या से निजात पाना असली एजेंडा ही न हो, बल्कि ‘अपने’ कुछ लोगों को किसी तरह सिस्टम में प्रविष्ट कराना मूल मंतव्य हो! क्योंकि जल्दी रिजल्ट तो सीबीएससी की तरह यूजीसी नेट-ब्यूरो को देश के विभिन्न जोनों (क्षेत्रों) में विकेंद्रीकृत कर भी लाया जा सकता है। जब 94 विषयों के लिए होने वाली यह परीक्षा देश के 74 सेंटरों पर आयोजित की जा सकती है तो क्या चार या उससे अधिक जोनों में बांटकर उसकी जांच नहीं हो सकती?

यूजीसी ने बनाया शिक्षक बैंक चयन प्रक्रि या अंतिम दौर में

नई दिल्ली (एजेंसी)। उच्च शिक्षा की गुणवत्ता को बेहतर बनाने और शिक्षकों की कमी को दूर करने के लिए विविद्यालय अनुदान आयोग ने शिक्षकों का एक बैंक बनाया है। इसके तहत शिक्षकों के चयन की प्रक्रि या अंतिम दौर में है। विविद्यालय अपनी जरूरत के अनुसार इस बैंक से अपने संस्थान में शिक्षकों को नियुक्त कर सकते हैं, इसके लिए उन्हें विविद्यालय अनुदान आयोग के साथ सहमति पत्र पर हस्ताक्षर करने होंगे। यूजीसी के एक अधिकारी ने कहा, ‘प्रारंभ में 200 शिक्षकों का चयन किया जाएगा। इसमें सहायक प्रोफेसर, एसोसिएट प्रोफेसर और प्रोफेसर 2:2:1 के अनुपात में चुने जाएंगे। अगले कुछ वर्ष में 1000 शिक्षकों का बैंक तैयार किया जाएगा जिसमें से विविद्यालय अपनी जरूरत के मुताबिक शिक्षकों को नियुक्त कर सकेंगे।’ उन्होंने कहा, ‘फैकल्टी रिचार्ज प्रोग्राम के तहत शिक्षकों के चयन की प्रक्रिया अभी पूरी नहीं हुई है क्योंकि इसके लिए बड़ी संख्या में आवेदन प्राप्त हुए हैं। यह प्रक्रि या जल्द ही पूरी कर ली जाएगी।’ फैकल्टी रिचार्ज प्रोग्राम के तहत चुने गए शिक्षकों को केंद्रीय विविद्यालय के शिक्षकों के समान वेतन मिलेगा। अधिकारी ने बताया कि प्रारंभ में पांच वर्ष की अवधि के लिए शिक्षकों का चयन होगा और यह कार्य स्क्रीनिंग समिति करेगी। बाद में कामकाज की समीक्षा के बाद या तो उनका कार्यकाल समाप्त कर दिया जाएगा या कार्यकाल बढ़ा दिया जाएगा अथवा अगले उच्च स्तर पर प्रोन्नत किया जाएगा। अधिकारी ने कहा कि फैकल्टी रिचार्ज प्रोग्राम के तहत शिक्षकों का चयन करने को इच्छुक विविद्यालयों को यूजीसी दिशानिर्देशों का पूरी तरह से पालन करना होगा। इच्छुक उम्मीदवार यूजीसी की वेबसाइट पर आनलाइन माध्यम से अपना पंजीकरण करा सकते हैं और इसके बाद आवेदन पत्र भर सकते हैं। आवेदन पत्र को छह खंडों में बांटा गया है जिसमें उम्मीदवारों को निजी ब्यौरा देने, संदर्भ बताने, अकादमिक ब्यौरा देने, अब तक के करियर के बारे में जानकारी देने, शोध पत्र एवं प्रकाशन का ब्यौरा देने के साथ विदेशों में अकादमिक यात्रा के बारे में जानकारी देनी है। फैकल्टी रिचार्ज प्रोग्राम के तहत चयन प्रक्रि या के लिए स्क्रीनिंग समिति में चार विषय विशेषज्ञों, राष्ट्रीय समन्वयक, संयोजक और अध्यक्ष शामिल किया गया है। आवेदनों पर चार बार मार्च, जून, सितम्बर और दिसम्बर में विचार किया जाना निर्धारित किया गया है। प्रारंभ में 200 शिक्षकों का चयन किया जाएगा। इसमें सहायक प्रोफे सर, एसोसिएट प्रोफेसर और प्रोफेसर 2:2:1 के अनुपात में चुने जाएंगे Source: http://rashtriyasahara.samaylive.com/epapermain.aspx?queryed=9
