If you are preparing to become a professor then this news is like a good news for you in this new year. Now to become a professor in any university, you will be able to get appointment only in UGC NET or PhD subjects.
Earlier, to become a teacher, it was necessary to have Under Graduate (UG), Post Graduate (PG) and PhD degree in the same subject. Under the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, more flexibility is now being provided in the process of becoming a teacher in universities. Its aim is to inspire students to study different subjects in higher education and to provide them with more diverse options.

Apart from this, now evaluation of areas like research paper, startup, innovation, entrepreneurship, patent, and industry partnership will also be considered helpful in promotion. For promotion from Assistant Professor to Associate Professor and then to Professor, training in PhD and Faculty Development Program will be mandatory. According to sources, there is a continuous change in the field of employment globally, and now students cannot be prepared only with bookish knowledge of subjects in the traditional manner.
You will get promotion only after 12 years of hard research.
The University Grants Commission (UGC) is planning to make changes to the 2018 Regulations, and replace them with the UGC Regulations 2024. This change will bring important changes in the process of becoming a teacher in UGC recognized universities and colleges. It will take 12 years to become an Associate Professor from Assistant Professor, but changes will be made in the promotion process. Its objective is to improve quality, focusing on the interests of society, common people and the university. This change will promote research in various subjects and teachers will be trained with new approaches.
Decision taken under this policy of NEP 2020
Till now, to become a teacher in universities and colleges, it was mandatory to study UG, PG and PhD in the same subject. But under the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, students have been given the freedom to pursue multidisciplinary studies in UG and PG, leading to their overall development. For this purpose, changes are being made in the rules for becoming a teacher.
In this way you can become assistant professor directly
Graduates who master a particular field will be able to become teachers in higher educational institutions. In this, people having special skills in fields like Yoga, Drama, Fine Arts will get the opportunity to become teachers. They can directly apply for the post of Assistant Professor, but for this it will be mandatory for them to have a national level award or honour.
