Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan has released draft UGC guidelines for faculty recruitment and promotion in higher institutions. According to this, it will not be necessary to be NET qualified in the subject for Assistant Professor recruitment.

Draft guidelines have been released on the official website of UGC. These guidelines will be implemented after taking feedback and suggestions from industry experts and stakeholders. UGC may implement guidelines after February 5.

According to the currently applicable UGC Guidelines 2018, for Assistant Professor recruitment, it was necessary for the candidate to be NET qualified in the same subject in which he has done PG.
