Exemption to the MPhil Holders from NET
PTC News Channel is going to organize an open debate within one week on the issue; “UGC-NET Exemption for M. Phil. Notified in June 2006.” Suddenly, in 2009 UGC removed its notification regarding the particular exemption. A lot of lecturers were affected with this decision.
With appreciable efforts of PTC News, this debate will be hosted by the renowned senior Journalist & TV Presenter Ms. Reeta Sharma. This is going to be telecasted along the globe. Those who suffered with the abrupt act of UGC can come and share their views as an audience in this debate. To participate you may contact on this number.
With regards

Dear Sri Ranjan Wadhawan,
Thanks for the post.I fail to understand how UGC can create so much confusion.
As I feel that UGC MUST give a mandate that (a) NET should be mandatory and never-the-less, (b) all NET qualified both M. Phil & Ph.D. Holders MUST have at least three publications out of their Dissertations in peer reviewed journals covered by at least Two National & Two International Bibliographic Databases. I am sure, if it happens, 80% of candidates will be out of the picture and the remaining 20% can be easily absorbed. They should also make it a mandatory yardstick for University Teachers' assessment that they should have at least 15 publications (within last five years) by their research students in peer reviewed journals out of their dissertations which are covered in Two National & Two International Bibliographic databases. I am extremely confident that the teachers will then accept & guide only those students whose topics are really worth and useful.
Sincerely,
Siddhartha S. Ray, Calcutta

I agree with Siddhartha Sir on both the suggestions he has made.
I would also like to add that UGC should withdraw the diluted NET examination system and should restore original mode if at all UGC honestly wants restoration of credibility of the NET exams.

As the decision taken by UGC is not so good. Because after the consideration of M.Phil i.e. after 2006 to 2009 who have recruited in the government jobs and universities are enjoying everything. But who do not get any job by that time is suffering from the rule. UGC should make a cut off date for M.Phil. like "Those who have awarded their M.Phil. before 2009 remain exempted for appearing NET". It will give prospective effect. Whereas the present Rule is effecting retrospective and adverse effect on the candidates.
