At second national convention to oppose draft UGC regulations, Kerala’s ruling LDF and Congress-led opposition came together to voice disapproval of Centre’s move.
The JD(U) called for the draft legislation to be amended to protect state power. The new rules give greater power to chancellor—usually Centre-appointed state governor—in the process.
New UGC guidelines will also make those with PG degree in ME or MTech, with at least 55% marks, eligible for post of assistant professor without having to clear NET.
