2025 draft regulations widen credentials for selecting vice-chancellors, says UGC Chairman M Jagadesh Kumar
The 2025 UGC regulations aim to transform how faculty members are recruited and promoted in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) by introducing changes that enhance flexibility, inclusivity, and excellence in faculty recruitment and career progression, said University Grants Commission (UGC) Chairman M Jagadesh Kumar. On Opposition parties' criticism, he told Kavita Bajli-Datt that he is open to constructive feedback to address concerns and work collaboratively to strengthen the higher education system. Excerpts:
Why did the UGC need a regulation change in recruiting teachers and vice-chancellors when the rules were introduced in 2018? The Academic Performance Indicator (API) system in the 2018 regulations heavily relied on quantitative metrics, reducing academic performance to numerical scores. The 2025 regulations discontinue the API-based shortlisting and adopt a more qualitative approach.
