PhD Guide-ship by an University Librarian
Dear Sir/Madam,
I have a query related to the latest UGC's guidelines.
Whether a State/ Central University Librarian is eligible for PhD guide-ship as new guideline says that the person must has to be a teacher for guiding scholars.
If any University Librarian either state/ central has been guiding scholars and University is allowing them then can you please mention the University name in the comment section.
Thanks in advance.

Only full time University Teachers can be PhD Guide as per UGC rules.
Only a full time regular teacher of the concerned University/Institution Deemed to be aUniversity/College can act as a supervisor. The external supervisors are not allowed. However, Co-Supervisor can be allowed in inter-disciplinary areas from other departments of the same institute orfrom other related institutions with the approval of the Research Advisory Committee.https://www.ugc.ac.in/pdfnews/4952604_UGC-(M.PHIL.-PH.D-DEGREES)-REGULATIONS,-2016.pdf.Page number 9.
