Lower Scales of Pay for Readers promoted under Merit Promotion Scheme

Those teachers who had opted for an earlier promotion scheme called Merit
Promotion Scheme had been given lower scales of Pay for the post of Professor and
Reader. The last Pay Review Committee had abolished the dual scales of pay in
respect of Professor but had not done so in the case of Readers. This is clearly
anomalous.

The Pay Review Committee, therefore, recommends that dual scales of pay in
respect of the position of Reader should be abolished and all those who are

Readers—whether promoted under MPS or CAS—should be given the same revised
scales of pay recommended by this Committee.

Granting of two Advance Increments at the time of Promotion as
Associate Professor

The last Pay Review Committee had recommended that all those who are promoted
to the post of Reader would be granted two advance increments at the time of fixing
their salaries in the new post. However, a large number of teachers from across the
country have represented that they have been denied this benefit on various grounds
including that they had already received the benefit earlier on completion of the Ph.d.
degree.

Since the last Pay Review committee had placed no restrictions of any kind on
granting of these advance increments, the Committee recommends that all those
teachers who have been denied the benefit of these two increments should be given
the same.

Promotions under Career Advancement Scheme

The last Pay Review Committee had recommended that all those teachers who are
promoted under CAS should be given the scales of pay and arrears of the new post
with effect from the date of their eligibility and not from any later date. However, a
large no of teachers promoted to various posts under CAS have been denied this.
The Committee, therefore, recommends that all those who have been promoted to
various positions after the implementation of the last Pay Review Committee
recommendations should be given the benefits of promotion, including arrears with
effect from the date of their eligibility for promotion.

Eligibility of Promotees under MPS for Promotion under Career
Advancement Scheme

A number of teachers who had been promoted under the earlier scheme of Merit
Promotion Scheme have been denied a second promotion under Career
Advancement Scheme although there is no such restriction as per the
recommendations of the last Pay Review Committee recommendations.
The Committee recommends that all those who had been promoted previously under
the Merit Promotion Scheme should be considered eligible for a second promotion
under CAS.

It has been brought to the notice of the Committee that some institutions are denying
promotion opportunities to teachers under CAS because they are also applicants for
positions advertised for direct recruitment. No such restrictions were put in place in
this regard by the last Pay Review Committee.

The Pay Review Committee recommends that all those teachers who have applied
for direct recruitment against openly advertised positions should not be debarred
from being considered for promotion under the Career Advancement Scheme.

In 6th Pay Commission Increment for Higher Qualification as per UGC.

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.
