The Draft UGC Regulations 2025, indicatively decoupled from pay revision, aims to align recruitment and promotion rules with NEP-2020. To carry out the task of raising revenue (self-financing), it provides governing authorities of institutions the following powers:
- Hire individuals, including those outside the academia (lateral entry), of their choice through diluted recruitment norms and “notable contributions”.
- Reward / punish each teacher / academic staff through promotion rules. Apart from teaching and research, to be eligible for promotion, a teacher requires four out 9 listed “notable contributions”
- “notable contributions” include: a) securing significant funding for research, infrastructure development, community programmes, start-ups, b) promotion of online mode of education and finding internships for students, c) promoting Indian languages and government-imagined “Indian Knowledge System” and d) innovative teaching.
