him/her as pay and allowances for the period not so earned. In a case where
retirement is unavoidable on account of reason of ill health, incapacitating the
teacher for further service, refund of leave salary for the period of leave still to be
earned may be waived by the Executive Council.

reasons to be recorded in writing, the refund of leave salary for the period of
leave still to be earned.

Study Leave:

(i) Study leave may be granted for the entry level appointees as Assistant

leave with pay for acquiring Ph.D. in a relevant discipline while in service, the
number of years to be put in after entry would be a minimum of two or the years
of probation specified in the university statutes concerned, keeping in mind the
availability of vacant positions for teachers and other cadres in colleges and
universities, so that a teacher and other cadres entering service without Ph.D. or
higher qualification could be encouraged to acquire these qualifications in the
relevant disciplines at the earliest rather than at a later stage of the career.

(iii) The paid period of study leave should be for three years, but two years may
be given in the first instance, extendable by one more year, if there is adequate
progress as reported by the Research Guide. Care should be taken that the
number of teachers given study leave, does not exceed the stipulated percentage
of teachers in any department. Provided that the Executive Council/Syndicate
may, in the special circumstances of a case, waive the condition of two years
service being continuous.

11/126
 Explanation: In computing the length of service, the time during which a

reckoned provided:

(a) the person is a teacher on the date of the application;

(b) there is no break in service; and

(c) the leave is requested for undertaking the Ph.D. research work.

(iv) Study leave shall be granted by the Executive Council/Syndicate on the

recommendation of the concerned Head of the Department. The leave shall not
be granted for more than three years in one spell, save in very exceptional cases
in which the Executive Council/Syndicate is satisfied that such extension is
unavoidable on academic grounds and necessary in the interest of the university.

(v) Study leave shall not be granted to a teacher who is due to retire within five
years of the date on which he/she is expected to return to duty after the expiry of
study leave.

(vi) Study leave may be granted not more than twice during one’s career.
Provided that, under no circumstances, the maximum of study leave admissible
during the entire service should not exceed five years.

(vii) No teacher, who has been granted study leave, shall be permitted to alter
substantially the course of study or the programme of research without the prior
permission of the Executive Council/Syndicate. In the event, the course of study
falls short of study leave sanctioned, the teacher shall resume duty immediately
on the conclusion of such course of study, unless a prior approval of the
Executive Council/Syndicate to treat the period of shortfall as ordinary leave has
been obtained.

(viii) Subject to the provisions of sub-clauses (ix) below, study leave may be
granted on full pay up to two years extendable by one year at the discretion of the
university.

(ix) The amount of scholarship, fellowship or other financial assistance that a

teacher, granted study leave, has been awarded will not preclude his/her being
granted study leave with pay and allowances but the scholarship, etc., so
received shall be taken into account in determining the pay and allowance on
which the study leave may be granted. The Foreign scholarship/fellowship would

12/126
be set off against pay only if the fellowship is above a specified amount, which
shall be determined by the UGC, from time to time, based on the cost of living for
a family in the country in which the study is to be undertaken. In the case of an
Indian fellowship, which exceeds the salary of the teacher, the salary would be
forfeited.

(x) Subject to the maximum period of absence from duty on leave not exceeding
three years, study leave may be combined with earned leave, half-pay leave,
extraordinary leave or vacation, provided that the earned leave at the credit of the
teacher shall be availed of at the discretion of the teacher. A teacher, who is
selected to a higher post during study leave, will be placed in that position and
get the higher scale only after joining the post.

(xi) A teacher granted study leave shall on his/her return and re-joining the
service of the university may be eligible to the benefit of the annual increment(s)
which he/she would have earned in the course of time if he/she had not
proceeded on study leave. No teacher shall however, be eligible to receive
arrears of increments.

(xii) Study leave shall count as service for pension/contributory provident fund,
provided the teacher joins the university on the expiry of his/her study leave.

(xiii) Study leave granted to a teacher shall be deemed to be cancelled in case it

is not availed of within 12 months of its sanction.

Provided that where study leave granted has been so cancelled, the teacher may
apply again for such leave.

(xiv) A teacher availing himself/herself of study leave shall undertake that he/she
shall serve the university for a continuous period of at least three years to be
calculated from the date of his/her resuming duty on expiry of the study leave.

(xv) After the leave has been sanctioned, the teacher shall, before availing
himself/herself of the leave, execute a bond in favour of the university, binding
himself/herself for the due fulfillment of the conditions laid down in sub-clause
above and give security of immovable property to the satisfaction of the Finance
Officer/Treasurer or a fidelity bond of an insurance company or a guarantee by a
scheduled bank or furnish security of two permanent teachers for the amount

13/126
which might become refundable to the university in accordance with sub-clause
(xiv) above.

(xvi) The teacher shall submit to the Registrar, six monthly reports of progress in
his/her studies from his/her supervisor or the Head of the Institution. This report
shall reach the Registrar within one month of the expiry of every six months of the
study leave. If the report does not reach the Registrar within the specified time,
the payment of leave salary may be deferred till the receipt of such report.

Sabbatical Leave:

(i) Permanent, whole-time teachers of the university and colleges who have
completed seven years of service as Reader/Associate Professor or Professor
may be granted sabbatical leave to undertake study or research or other
academic pursuit solely for the object of increasing their proficiency and
usefulness to the university and higher education system.

(ii) The duration of leave shall not exceed one year at a time and two years in the
entire career of a teacher.

(iii) A teacher, who has availed himself/herself of study leave, would not be
entitled to the sabbatical leave.

five years from the date of the teacher’s return from previous study leave or any
other kind of training programme of duration one year or more.

(iv) A teacher shall, during the period of sabbatical leave, be paid full pay and
allowances (subject to the prescribed conditions being fulfilled) at the rates
applicable to him/her immediately prior to his/her proceeding on sabbatical leave.

(v) A teacher on sabbatical leave shall not take up, during the period of that
leave, any regular appointment under another organization in India or abroad.
He/she may, however, be allowed to accept a fellowship or a research
scholarship or adhoc teaching and research assignment with honorarium or any
other form of assistance, other than regular employment in an institution of
advanced studies, provided that in such cases the Executive Council/Syndicate
may, if it so desires, sanction sabbatical leave on reduced pay and allowances.

(vi) During the period of sabbatical leave, the teacher shall be allowed to draw the
increment on the due date. The period of leave shall also count as service for

14/126
purposes of pension/contributory provident fund, provided that the teacher rejoins
the university on the expiry of his/her leave.

Maternity Leave

(i) Maternity leave on full pay may be granted to a woman teacher for a period not
exceeding 180 days, to be availed of twice in the entire career. Maternity leave

career is not more than 45 days, and the application for leave is supported by a
medical certificate.

extraordinary leave but any leave applied for in continuation of maternity leave
may be granted if the request is supported by a medical certificate.

Paternity Leave

1.6. TEACHING DAYS

a. The Universities/Colleges must adopt at least 180 working days, i.e. there
should be a minimum of 30 weeks of actual teaching in a 6-day week. Of the
remaining period, 12 weeks may be devoted to admission and examination
activities, and non-instructional days for co-curricular, sports, college day, etc., 8
weeks for vacations and 2 weeks may be attributed to various public holidays. If
the University adopts a 5 day week pattern, then the number of weeks should be
increased correspondingly to ensure equivalent of 30 weeks of actual teaching
with a 6 day week.

The above is summarized as follows:

Provided that such publications submitted by the candidate shall have been
published subsequent to the period from which the teacher was placed in the
Assistant Professorstage-II.

Provided further that such publications shall be provided to the subject experts for
assessment before the interview and the evaluation of the publications by the
experts shall be factored into the weightage scores while finalizing the outcome
of selection.

6.0.8 In the case of selection of Professors who are from outside the academic
stream and are considered under Clause 4.1.0 (B), the universities’ statutory
bodies must lay down clear and transparent criteria and procedures so that only
outstanding professionals who can contribute substantially to the university
knowledge system are selected in any discipline as per the requirements.

6.0.9 The Academic Performance Indicator (API) scoring system in the process of
selection of Principal shall be similar to that of directly recruited College
Professors. In addition, the selection committee shall assess the following
dimensions with the weightages given below:

a. Assessment of aptitude for teaching, research and administration (20%);

b. Ability to communicate clearly and effectively (10%);

86/126
c. Ability to plan institutional programmes, analyze and discuss curriculum
development and delivery, research support and college
development/administration (20%);

d. Ability to deliver lecture programmes to be assessed by requiring the candidate

to participate in a group discussion or exposure to a class room situation by a
lecture (10%); and

e. Analysis of the merits and credentials of the candidates on the basis of the
Performance Based Appraisal System (PBAS) proforma developed by the
affiliating University based on these Regulations (deduced to 40% of the total API
score).

6.0.10 In the selection process for posts involving different nature of

responsibilities in certain disciplines/areas, such as Music and Fine Arts, Visual
arts and Performing arts, Physical education and Library, greater emphasis may
be laid on the nature of deliverables indicated against each of the posts in these
Regulations which need to be taken up by the concerned institution while
developing API based PBAS proforma for both direct recruitment and CAS
promotions.

6.0.11 The Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) shall be established in all
Universities/Colleges as per the UGC/ National Assessment Accreditation
Council (NAAC) guidelines with the Vice Chancellor, as Chairperson (in the case
of universities), and Principal, as Chairperson (in case of colleges). The IQAC
shall act as the documentation and record-keeping Cell for the institution
including assistance in the development of the API criteria based PBAS proforma
using the indicative template separately developed by UGC. The IQAC may also
introduce, wherever feasible, the student feedback system as per the NAAC
guidelines on institutional parameters without incorporating the component of
students’ assessment of individual teachers in the PBAS.

6.1. While the API:

(a) Tables I and III of Appendix III are applicable to the selection of Professors/
Associate Professors /Assistant Professors in universities and colleges;

87/126
(b) Tables IV, V and VI of Appendix III are applicable to Directors/ Deputy
Directors/ Assistant Directors of Physical Education and Sports; and

(c) Tables VII, VIII and IX of Appendix III are applicable to Librarians/ Deputy
Librarians and Assistant Librarians for both direct recruitment as well as Career
Advancement Promotions, the ratio / percentage of minimum requirement of
category-wise API Score to each of the cadres shall vary from those for university
teachers and for UG/PG College Teachers, as given in these Tables of Appendix-
III.

6.2. The minimum norms of Selection Committees and Selection Procedures

as well as API score requirements for the above cadres, either through direct
recruitment or through Career Advancement Schemes Regulations, shall be
similar. However, since teachers recruited directly can be from different
backgrounds and institutions, Table II(c) of Appendix III provides norms for direct
recruitment of teachers to different cadres, while Tables II (a) and Table II(b)
provide for CAS promotions of teachers in universities and colleges respectively,
which accommodate these differences.

6.3. In order to remedy the difficulties of collecting retrospective information

and to facilitate the implementation of these regulations from 31-12-2008 in the
CAS Promotion, the API based PBAS will be progressively and prospectively
rolled out. Accordingly, the PBAS based on the API scores of categories I and II
as mentioned in these tables is to be implemented for one year, initially based on
the existing systems in universities / colleges for one year only with the minimum
annual scores as depicted in Table II (a) and II (b) for university and college
teachers, or by Librarian/Physical Education and Sports cadres as depicted in
Tables V(a) and V (b), Tables VIII(a) and VIII (b) respectively.. This annualized
API scores can then be compounded progressively as and when the teacher
becomes eligible for CAS promotion to the next cadre. Thus, if a teacher is
considered for CAS promotion in 2010, one year API scores for 2009-10 alone
will be required for assessment. In case of a teacher being considered for CAS
promotion in 2011, two years average of API scores for these categories will be
required for assessment and so on leading progressively for the complete
assessment period. For Category III (research and academic contributions), API
scores for this category will be applied for the entire assessment period.

6.3.1 A teacher who wishes to be considered for promotion under CAS may
submit in writing to the university/college, with three months in advance of the

88/126
due date, that he/she fulfils all qualifications under CAS and submit to the
university/college the Performance Based Appraisal System proforma as evolved
by the concerned university duly supported by all credentials as per the API
guidelines set out in these Regulations. In order to avoid delays in holding
Selection Committee meetings in various positions under CAS, the
University/College should immediately initiate the process of screening/selection,
and shall complete the process within six months from the date of application.
Further, in order to avoid any hardships, candidates who fulfill all other criteria
mentioned in these Regulations, as on 31 December, 2008 and till the date on
which this Regulation is notified, can be considered for promotion from the date,
on or after 31 December, 2008, on which they fulfill these eligibility conditions,
provided as mentioned above.

6.3.2 Candidates who do not fulfill the minimum score requirement under the API
Scoring System proposed in the Regulations as per Tables II(a and b) of
Appendix III or those who obtain less than 50% in the expert assessment of the
selection process will have to be re-assessed only after a minimum period of one
year. The date of promotion shall be the date on which he/she has successfully
got re-assessed.

6.3.3 The Selection Committee specifications as delineated in Clauses 5.1.0 to

5.1.7 are applicable to all direct recruitments of Faculty Positions and Career
Advancement promotions of Assistant Professor to Associate Professor and to
that of Associate Professor to Professor.

6.3.4 CAS promotions from a lower grade to a higher grade of Assistant

Professor shall be conducted by a “Screening cum Evaluation Committee”
adhering to the criteria laid out as API score in PBAS in the Tables of Appendix-
III.

6.3.5 The “Screening cum Evaluation Committee” for CAS promotion of Assistant
Professors/equivalent cadres in Librarians/Physical Education from one AGP to
the other higher AGP shall consist of:

6.3.5.1. For University teachers:

a. The Vice Chancellor as the Chairperson of the Selection Committee;

b. The Dean of the concerned Faculty;

89/126
c. The Head of the Department /Chairperson of the School; and

d. One subject expert in the concerned subject nominated by the Vice Chancellor
from the University panel of experts.

a. The Principal of the college;

b. Head of the concerned department from the college;

c. Two subject experts in the concerned subject nominated by the Vice

Chancellor from the university panel of experts;

6.3.5.3 The quorum for these committees in both categories mentioned above
shall be three including the one subject expert/ university nominee need to be
present.

score secured by the candidate through the ‘PBAS’ methodology designed by the
respective university based on these Regulations and as per the minimum
requirement specified: (a) in Tables II and III for each of the cadre of Assistant
Professor; (b) in Tables V and VI for each of the cadre of Physical Education and
Sports; and (c) in Tables VIII and IX for each of the cadre of Librarians shall
recommend to the Syndicate/ Executive Council /Board of Management of the
University about the suitability for the promotion of the candidate(s) under CAS
for implementation.

6.3.7 All the selection procedures outlined above, shall be completed on the day
of the selection committee meeting, wherein the minutes are recorded along with
PBAS scoring proforma and recommendation made on the basis of merit and
duly signed by all members of the selection committee in the minutes.

6.3.8 CAS promotions being a personal promotion to the incumbent teacher

holding a substantive sanctioned post, on superannuation of the individual
incumbent, the said post shall revert back to its original cadre.

6.3.9 The incumbent teacher must be on the role and active service of the
Universities/Colleges on the date of consideration by the Selection Committee for
Selection/CAS Promotion.

90/126
6.3.10 Candidates shall offer themselves for assessment for promotion, if they
fulfill the minimum API scores indicated in the appropriate API system tables by
submitting an application and the required PBAS proforma. They can do so three
months before the due date if they consider themselves eligible. Candidates who
do not consider themselves eligible can also apply at a later date. In any event,
the university concerned shall send a general circular twice a year calling for
applications for CAS promotions from eligible candidates.

6.3.11 In the final assessment, if the candidates do not either fulfill the minimum
API scores in the criteria as per PBAS proforma or obtain less than 50% in expert
assessment, wherever applicable, such candidates will be reassessed only after
a minimum period of one year.

6.3.12 (a) If a candidate applies for promotion on completion of the minimum

eligibility period and is successful, the date of promotion will be from that of
minimum period of eligibility. (b) If, however, the candidates find that he/she
fulfills the eligibility conditions at a later date and applies on that date and is
successful, his/her promotion will be effected from that date of application fulfilling
the criteria. (c) If the candidate does not succeed in the first assessment, but
succeeds in the eventual assessment, his/her promotion will be deemed to be
from the later date of successful assessment.

proposed for (a) teaching related activities; (b) domain knowledge; (c)
participation in examination and evaluation; (d) contribution to innovative
teaching, new courses etc. The minimum API score required by teachers from
this category is 75. The self assessment score should be based on objectively
verifiable criteria wherever possible and will be finalized by the
screening/selection committee.

Universities will be required to detail the activities and in case institutional

specificities require, adjust the weightages, without changing the minimum total
API scores required under this category.

*Wherever relevant to any specific discipline, the API score for paper in refereed
journal would be augmented as follows: (i) indexed journals – by 5 points; (ii)
papers with impact factor between 1 and 2 by 10 points; (iii) papers with impact
factor between 2 and 5 by 15 points; (iv) papers with impact factor between 5 and
10 by 25 points.
** If a paper presented in Conference/Seminar is published in the form of
Proceedings, the points would accrue for the publication (III (a)) and not under
presentation (III (e)(ii)).

Notes.
1. It is incumbent on the Coordination Committee proposed in these Regulations and the
University to prepare and publicize within six months subject-wise lists of journals,
periodicals and publishers under categories IIIA and B. Till such time, screening/selection
committees will assess and verify the categorization and scores of publications.
2. The API for joint publications will have to be calculated in the following manner: Of the
total score for the relevant category of publication by the concerned teacher, the
first/Principal author and the corresponding author/supervisor/mentor of the teacher would
share equally 60% of the total points and the remaining 40% would be shared equally by
all other authors.

Explanatory note for Tables II (a) and II (b)

1. All universities / colleges will set up verifiable systems for the API related information required
in these tables within THREE months of notification of these regulations. They will have to be
documented and collated annually by the Internal Quality Assessment cells (IQACs) of the
universities / colleges for follow up by the universities / college authorities. In order to facilitate
this process, all teachers shall submit the duly filled-in Performance Based Appraisal System
(PBAS) proforma to the IQAC annually.

2. However, in order to remedy the difficulties of collecting retrospective information and to

facilitate the implementation of these regulations from 31-12-2008 in the CAS Promotion, the
API based PBAS will be progressively and prospectively rolled out.

3. Accordingly, the PBAS based on the API scores of categories I and II as mentioned in these
tables is to be implemented for one year, initially based on the existing systems in universities
/ colleges for one year only with the minimum average scores as depicted in Table II (a) and II
(b) in rows I to III. This annualized API scores can then be compounded progressively as and
when the teacher becomes eligible for CAS promotion to the next cadre. Thus, if a teacher is
considered for CAS promotion in 2010, one year API scores for 2009-10 alone will be
required for assessment. In case of a teacher being considered for CAS promotion in 2011,
two years average of API scores for these categories will be required for assessment and so
on leading progressively for the complete assessment period.

4. As shown in Table II, the aggregate minimum API score required (given in row III) can be
earned from any of the two broad categories, subject to the minimum prescribed in each
category. This will provide for due weightage to teachers who contribute additionally through
any of the components given in Categories I and II also for the differing nature of contributions
possible in different institutional settings

5. For Category III (research and academic contributions), maintenance of past record is done
on a normal basis by teachers and hence no difficulty is envisaged in applying the API scores
for this category for the entire assessment period. In this category, an aggregate minimum
score is required for promotion over each stage. Alternatively, a teacher should acquire the
required minimum aggregate score over two previous stages, taken together. In the case of
promotion to Professor, the publication requirement shall be met over the two previous
stages.

6. Candidates should offer themselves for assessment for promotion, if they fulfill the minimum
API scores indicated in Tables I and II, by submitting an application and the required
proforma. They can do so three months before the due date if they consider themselves
eligible. Candidates who do not consider themselves eligible, can also apply at a later date.

7. If however, on final assessment, candidates do not either fulfill the minimum criteria under
Rows III and IV of Tables II(A) and II (B) or obtain less than 50% in the expert assessment,
they will be reassessed only after a minimum period of one year.

8. (a) If a candidate applies for promotion on completion of the minimum eligibility period and is
successful, the date of promotion will be deemed to be the minimum period of eligibility.

(b) If however, the candidate finds that she / he fulfills the eligibility conditions at a late date
and applies on that date and is successful, her / his promotion will be deemed to be from that
date of application

(c) If the candidate does not succeed in the first assessment, but succeeds in an eventual
assessment, her / his promotion will be deemed to be from the later date.
