Will Asst Professor post be given to those who got degree through Distance education?
Will people who studied through distance education and won the Slate and NET examinations be granted the position of Assistant professor during Question Hour in the tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly? Ponmudi, minister of Higher education, responded to the query. He stated that the tamil Nadu government will make all necessary provisions in the future. The legislation, justice administration, and news and publicity subsidy demands are all being debated in the tamil Nadu Legislative assembly today. Ministers Raghupathi and Saminathan reacted by announcing fresh initiatives.
According to UGC guidelines, Senthilnathan, a member of the Legislature, had to have studied Slate, NET, or Ph.D. for college assistant professor employment at the time. As a result, many of the poorest students went to assistant professors' offices who had received distance education and had passed the slate and net examinations. Distance education is not valid for assistant professorships in this case, according to the madurai branch of the High Court. So, prior to the High Court's decision in 2019, he wondered if the government would step forward to offer assistant professorships to people who had completed distance education and passed the Slate, NET exam.
Minister of Higher education Ponmudi responded, saying, "The university Grants Commission oversees all Slate and NET tests (UGC). The university Grants Commission (UGC) has the authority to regulate universities. annamalai university is currently offering distance education. The university of georgia has announced that it will not approve it as well. The tamil Nadu government has asked the university of georgia to approve it. It is true that this remote education programme began during the rule of previous chief minister Karunanidhi, because it allows individuals who dropped out midway through the degree to resume their studies."
