PhD Registration in Kerala University
Dear all,
University of Kerala has invited applications for PhD Registrations vide Notification No. Ac.E1.B1/16273/2012 dt. 10-12-2012.
As per this, the following categories are permitted PhD Part-Time Registration:
Part-Time Registration is permitted to Teachers in Govt. and aided colleges in the State of Kerala.
Part-Time Registration in management studies is extended to those working in managerial position with a minimum of three years experience in Govt./Public Sector undertakings.
Part-Time Registration is extended to contract lecturers appointed in teaching and research centres attached to the University Depts., UIT centres and KUCTE.
Part-Time Registration in Library and Information Science is extended to those working as Library Staff in the University of Kerala with a minimum of three years experience.
The University of Kerala and University of Calicut are the only universities in Kerala offering PhD Programme in Library and Information Science. Kerala University is permitting staff of Companies for PhD programme.ย PhD being a statutory qualification for library staff, they are not permitted for part-time PhD!!!!!!!. Why many universities are putting negative clauses on the development of libraries as well the career development of library staff.ย Whether the university teachers and authorities are afraid on the career development of library staff?.ย ย ย While Librarians are designated as Scientists/Teachers in Central/State Govt. research institutions like DRDO, ISRO, KSCSTE, KFRI, CWRDM, TBGRI etc. and also in most of the universities in India, the librarians in universities and colleges in Kerala are categorized as non-teachers.
The High Court of Kerala verdict states that the Librarians in Kerala Agricultural University are โTeachersโ as per KAU Act.
I am very much ashamed that the very meaning of โteachingโ is not known to many so called academicians!!!. ย That is why library and librarians are categorized as non-teaching.

Doing PhD in Kerala University is a herculian task.Last year,i wished to register as a candidate as full time scholar by availing JRF grant after obtaining LWA from current service.When enquired about grants,the Kerala University authorities told me to get a clarification letter from UGC whether JRF grants can be availed by candidates having permanent jobs.There was no time for me to go to UGC,So i joined Mahatma Gandhi University for my PhD.You are welcome to address such incidences if you are joining Kerala University for doing Phd.Also i request you to read about the protests by research scholars for getting grants from Kerala University in the newspapers....
About the non-teaching cadre of librarians in kerala,protests are on the way.hopefully,a positive action from the part of the authorities will evolve atleast after 10 years....
