21 Patna University teachers promoted
PATNA: Patna University (PU) on Wednesday promoted as many as 21 teachers to the rank of associate professor and professor under the career advancement scheme (CAS) on the recommendations of the selection committee.
A decision in this regard was taken at a meeting of the PU syndicate held in virtual mode under the chairmanship of vice-chancellor Girish Kumar Chaudhary.
The promotions were cleared by the selection committee in its meetings on February 26 and 27 last. Those promoted to the post of professor included PU examination controller R K Mandal and retired sociology teacher Randhir Kumar Singh.
The syndicate also endorsed the decision of the academic council regarding the abolition of entrance test for admission of students to the three-year degree courses both under the conventional and self-financing modes. Now, the syndicate’s resolution for a transitory regulation regarding the abolition of entrance test for one session in view of the Covid-19 pandemic will be sent to the Raj Bhavan. After the chancellor’s approval, admission to both the conventional and self-financing courses will be made on the basis of the marks obtained by the students in the Class XII examinations. Even the provision of holding viva voce examination along with entrance test for admission in self-financing courses has been scrapped.
The syndicate also decided to change the nomenclature of some courses of the university in the larger interest of the students. The names of courses like MA/MSc in social work, music, personnel management and industrial relations (PMIR) will be changed to Masters in social work, music and PMIR respectively.
The syndicate decided to implement the state government’s recent decision to enhance the rate of honorarium being given to the duly appointed guest lecturers. The issue of reappointment of already working guest faculty members, whose services were terminated before the summer vacation, was also discussed in detail at the meeting.
