Central University of Kashmir (CUK) Disowned Candidates Possessing Master’s in Library Sciences (M.LIS) from University of Kashmir for the Semi-Professional Assistant
Exclusive Correspondent
SRINAGAR, Oct 23: Central University of Kashmir (CUK) disowned all the candidates possessing Master’s in Library Sciences (M.LIS) from University of Kashmir for the Semi-Professional Assistant in Library Department as the candidates had no Bachelors Degree in Library Sciences. The CUK has advertised posts of Semi-Professional Assistant and has asked eligible candidates with relevant degree to apply for the posts under employment notification number 03 of 2013 dated on 06-07-2013.
But after scrutinizing the documents of all the 40 candidates who had applied for the posts, only seven (7) candidates with Bachelor’s in Library Sciences (BLIS) degree from other than KU have been short listed, whereas all the 33 candidates with MLIS degree from KU were dropped.
In the CUK website the reason of dropping students from the list was that the candidates don’t have Bachelors in the same subject. “The reason of in-eligibility for the post was lack of BLIS degree,” says the official website of CUK.
Professor Wahid Quraishi, Vice Chancellor, CUK said the varsity’s executive body has decided that the prescribed qualification for the posts of Semi-Professional Assistant would be BLIS

Is there any Library organization in the J & K? If yes, kindly approach them, so that they can write a letter to the Vice Chancellor.

the same thing happend to the candidates having integrated Mlisc Degree(2 year) from kerala university some years back.We worked together and issued an university order that those who have integrated mlisc degree from kerala university are eligible to apply for the posts where Blisc/mlisc is mandatory.now we produce that equivalency certificate from kerala university if somebody asks for our blisc degree certificate
so give a representation to kashmir university VC immediately,get an equivalency certificate and give it to CUK.
if CUK is supersonic in recruitment process,give a writ in court to get an interim order that selection to the said posts at CUK should only be done after final verdict of suit filed by university of kashmir MLISC holders..
done!!!.
