Directorate of Higher Education, Assam is playing with UGC Resolution
The Directorate of Higher Education, Assam advertising the vacant position of Assistant Professor and Librarian in colleges of Assam, where MPhil holders before 10/7/2009 are exempted from mandatory requirement of NET/SLET/SET. Due to the wrong policy of the Directorate of Higher Education, Assam, a lot of people got appointment as Assistant Professor and Librarian in colleges who were otherwise even not fit to apply for the job.
The Directorate of Higher Education, Assam is relying on the Resolutions of the University Grants Commission of the 471st and 472nd meeting held on 12.8.2010 & 27.9.2010 regarding exemption to the MPhil holders before 10/7/2009 from NET/SLET/SET for appointment of Assistant Professor and Librarian in colleges. However, those resolutions are merely the part of the process of deliberation by the University Grants Commission on the issue of minimum qualification for appointment and not a final decision required to be implemented. In fact, the Central Government vide its D.O. letter No.F.8-7/2010-U-I(A) dated 3rd November, 2010 did not concur with the said resolutions of dated 12.8.2010 and 27.9.10 of the University Grants Commission.
The Directorate of Higher Education, Assam can also consult the University Grants Commission order No. F.9-3/2010(PS) dated 12th October, 2012 in this regard.

I dont have the circular, but I have a RTI response from DHE, Assam where they mention that more than 100 M.Phil holders got appointment and also a reply from the Head of DHE where they mention that they are not bound to follow the UGC regulation each and every time. Based on this fact you can sent a letter to UGC and MHRD. I will send you the details as soon as I will reach guwahati (presently at Delhi)
