At present those who are recruited as Lecturers with Ph. D and M. Phil degrees are
given four and two advance increments respectively. These are granted as
compensation to those who instead of entering the profession immediately after their
Master’s degree and clearing the NET/SET examination spend additional time
working for their respective research degrees.
Teachers have been demanding three and five advance increments for those
possessing M. Phil and Ph. D degrees respectively at the time of recruitment as
Lecturer since, they argue, the efforts and time spent in acquiring these degrees
were more than could be compensated by two and four advance increments
respectively.
The Committee, after due deliberations, recommends that the number of
advance increments granted to Ph.D. holders at the time of recruitment should
be increased to five while those with M.Phil. degrees should get three advance
increments instead of present two. The increase has been recommended in
order to make entry into the teaching profession more attractive.
The Committee also recommends that those teachers who join as Lecturers
with M.Tech, LLM, MD and MS degrees should also be given three advance
increments as is the case with those who join with M. Phil degrees. This is
being recommended taking into consideration the nature and level of these
degrees and also the additional time spent in acquiring them.
Those incumbents who enter as lecturers with a MA/MSc/M.Com and NET/SET
qualifications shall be given two advance increments at the time of appointment.
Two advance increments should be awarded to those who are directly appointed /
promoted as associate professor, notwithstanding another provision being
recommended in this report that an appointee with outstanding merit may be granted
upto seven advance increments.
The Committee, however, does not find merit in another demand made by a number
of teachers and teachers’ organizations that the benefits of advance increments be
given to teachers at every stage of promotion. This, the Committee feels, would
tantamount to giving them a repeated benefits for the same qualifications.
Teachers who complete their Ph. D degree while in service would get three advance
increments instead of the present two. This is being recommended to encourage
more and more college teachers to undertake doctoral research and upgrade their
qualifications and professional competence.
Those teachers who acquire M.Phil./M.Tech/M.S./M.D/L.L.M. degrees while in
service should now get the benefit of two advance increment instead of one at
present.
As for those teachers who enter the profession as Readers and Professors with
higher merit, better publications and experience at the level, the Committee
recommends that the selection committee at its discretion may award such an
appointee up to seven advance increments instead of the present provision of five.
All advance increments wherever allowed, either earlier or now, may be given on
non-compounding basis.
