Selection Process
The selection for faculty promotion under CAS will be primarily based on the API (Academic Performance Indicator) and Research scores in accordance with UGC Regulations. The evaluation criteria include:
| Assessment Area | Details |
|---|---|
| Publications | Research papers, books, chapters, with quality assessment based on UGC public notices and credible sources. Publications in predatory or dubious journals are not considered. |
| Research Projects | Details of funded projects, ongoing projects, or completed research. |
| Academic Contributions | Participation in conferences, seminars, workshops, Faculty Development Programmes (FDP), modules developed, and e-learning contributions. |
| Assessment of API Score | Research and publication quality will weigh more than the quantity alone. Scores will be assigned accordingly, with re-assessment after one year if initial assessment is unsuccessful. |
If a candidate does not succeed in the initial assessment, they will be re-assessed after a period of one year. Promotion date will depend on the date of subsequent assessment, with the effective promotion date being either January 1st or July 1st as per the assessment period.
