Is M.LiB 2 year Integrated course from PU is Equal to B. Lib from other Univ ?
Dear Friends ,
With the help of this post i want to draw your kind attention towards the subject above . I have done my M.Lib 2 year integrated course from Punjab Univ .Chandigarh in 2005. But when I applied for the post of librarian in adarsh school in Punjab recruitment . They Consider me not eligible as i had not B.Lib degree which was their basic Qualification .After many efforts they consider my M.Lib degree as Basic Qualification . On the other side other Univ. students got 10 extra marks of M.lib as higher Qualification . As a result although i got good marks in written test yet i could not get the position in merit list ( Because i did not got 10 extra marks of M.Lib degree).
Now its second time when i am not eligible to apply in Department School Education Haryana as basic qualification is B.Lib.
Kindly give me advice what should i do ?
I will be thankful to You .
With regards
Kulmeet Kaur

No certainly not. You have to clarify them that your MLISc is not equivalent to BLISc of others. Your MLISc is equivalent to others MLISc degree.

But sir they are not library professional who can understand this concept . They consider M.LIB 2 year integrated course only one degree.

Just Clearify them
First: BLib is one year course.
Second: MLib is also one year course only for those who
have done BLib Course.
Third: For those who already done MLISc two year integrated
course, he/ she is eligible for any job requirement
BLib as the minimum Qualification.
Four: I am also PU Chandigarh MLISc passed out student in
2007 (2 Year Integrated Course).
Five: I am eligible for the exam conducted by CEPTAM-DRDO
where minimum essential qualification is BLib.
Being a MLISc Student, we should have good communication and interaction skills only then we can win.

Yes , both B.LIB and M.LIB candidates are eligible for the exam conducted by CEPTAM-DRDO.
But there are some govt organization are available which give the extra marks for higher qualification . They consider only one degree to M.LIB two year integrated course , you can check at Department School Education Haryana and adarsh school in punjab recruitment.
Evenn i have taken the written proof from our LIS department,PU.
