Distance education courses are not valid for West Bengal College Service Commission (WBCSC)

Dear Library professional,

I am BLISc degree holder of the world largest University (IGNOU) and MLISC(regulaer) from Jadavpur University(WB), I came to learn from a reliable source that WBCSC (West Bengal College Service Commission) has taken decision regarding the distance education. From now distance degree holder are no more eligible for lectureship for West Bengal base college neither they are not eligible to appear the SET (WB)examination . But the degree of IGNOU valid for all govt. job in India and out side Inida and equivalence to other regular university courses. My question is that any state have the power to disqualify the national level university?  Indian Rules and regulation  are not applicable in West Bengal? Please help me? What can I do now? I want discussed with IGNOU authority, please tell me to whom of IGNOU I have to contact in such situation? Is the IGNOU have nothing to do? I am hopeless Please help me with your valuable suggestions and guidance and proper way out to solve our (all the distance degree holder) problems?

Dear Sir

there are so many controversy in India all high authority play a negative roll with the Library Science profession in India. Librarian post comes under the categories of non teaching and for the appointment of Librarian is net compulsory and age of retirement is 62 and teaching is 65 so there are so many controversy. please file a RTI for this purpose. 

Dear Khan,

I know all the controversy but I want know the role of the university? Because before I admission go through their prospectus and rule and validation of degree. There is clear comment that their degree is equivalence to  other regular degree. Is it false promise? IGNOU has given us degree and certify us  I think they have to protest against it and should contact first with WBCSC neither they have give the clear indication on their prospectus that our degree is not valid for WBCSC. moreover this problems is all the degree holder of IGNOU. So please help me by giving the address of the contact person of IGNOU. Freely speaking to whom I have contact to solve my problems. RTI can help me by giving me the exact information. Please give more suggestions.

Dear Brother Hedayat,

This types of problems occurred in Bihar for selection of Librarians in School level through HRD Ministry, Education Department, Govt.of Bihar, but IGNOU Degree is valid for the selection of Librarian, IGNOU is largest and esteemed Open University in India.

We, Library and Information Science professionals must do query in head authority of IGNOU or UCG, regarding validity of said degree.We can file the case in High Court of concerned state regarding validation. I always with you.

Thanks,

Akhtar Hussain

 

Dear Dr. Akhtar Hussain,

Please give the name of contract person DEC. As the DEC is Maintained by directly through the HRD. As they are national agency can solve the problems easily.

 

 

Dear Sir,

Do you have in written that WBCSC is not appointing distance education pass outs including IGNOU. If yes then write to SRD director, IGNOU as well as Director CED, if not, first write a RTI to WBCSC, if they said yes, they are not accepting such distance learners for given post. Then you can write to IGNOU Authority, I will give their email IDs. My support is also with you.

 

thanking you

Dear HAR SINGH ji!!!Thanks for good suggestion .This is the ways can follow.

Dear Sir,

First of all thanks to you for your valuable suggestions. I have no such documents so that I can prove. But the last year (at the time recruitment) they have not given value of distance certificate for M. Phil for Li bray Science. Even the time of SET Examinations they say that Degree(Graduation) and Master Degree Should be from the regular mode from a regular university. This is the rules of SET Examination from the last year. In 2011 SET advertisement has yet not published but I know that fact according to their advertisement. After the Assemble Election recruitment of lecturer of WBCSC then it will be cleared. In that circumstance please give me your E-mail ID so that I can contact with you later. My mail ID is   hedayathossain@gmail.com. If possible give a mail.

my email id : infoisil07@gmail.com
Thank you Mr. HAR SINGH BISHT, stay with me.
I think its a good decision taken by West Bengal Govt.. afterall IGNOU also  open uniersity

Dear Sir,

Thanks for your comment, I am B.com(H), from Burdwan University as a regular candidate, BLISc from IGNOU and MLISC from Jadavpur University even I did MLIS from Jadavpur University on the basis of IGNOU certificate. When I took admission in IGNOU in 2002 first I verify whether the IGNOU certificate  valid or not but from the distance council and SRE of IGNOU told me that "yes, our certificate valid all over the world including commonwealth countries, then took I admission. Now any state Govt. if told that your certificate is not valid to us then what is my fault. who will take the responsibility. After all it is "MERA LIFE KA SAWAL HAI BHAI" If  it happen why the HRD take the decision to open the distance education course. Why they tell our certificate is valid to all over the over the world.

 

SEE THE RULE:

IGNOU is a CENTRAL UNIVERSITY established by an Act of Parliament in 1985 (Act No. 50 of 1985) IGNOU Degrees / Diplomas / Certificates are recognised by all the members of the Association of Indian Universities (AIU) and are at par with Degrees / Diplomas / Certificates of all Indian Universities / Deemed Universities / Institutions vide UGC Circular No. F1-52/2000 (CPP-II) dated 5 May, 2004 & AIU Circular No. EV/B(449)/94/176915-177115 dated January 14, 1994.

 

So, please don't comment like this. Thousand and thousand of student's life is going to hail. If you support then you should tell HRD of India "Don't open University" Close the distance education systems. It is harmful to India. But don't play with students life.

PLZ SIR DON'T SAY LIKE THIS.
