The Registrar,

Sub-Regulation under section 26 (i)(e) of the UGC Act defining the qualification that ordinarily.
be required of any person to be appointed to the teaching staff of the University.

Sir,

I am directed to say that in exercise of the powers convert by clause (a) of sub-section 1 of
the section 26 with section 14 of the University Grants Commission Act, 196(3 of 1956), the
University Grants Commission has since framed regulation defining the qualification that should
ordinarily be required of any person to be appointed to the teaching staff of the University. A
copy of the Regulation framed by the Commission in this regard is enclosed. The University is
requested to adopt the Regulations in the Statutes/Ordinances as may be considered necessary.
These regulation would come into effect from Ist July,1983.

I am further to say that failure of the University to comply with the above Regulation would
attract the provision containing in Section 14 of the UGC Act which is re-produced below:-

‘’ If any University fails within a reasonable time to comply with any recommendation made
by the Commission under Section 12 or Section 13 or contravenes the provisions of any rules
made under clause (f) or clause (g) or sub-section (2) or Section 25, or (g) of Section 26, the
Commission, after taking into consideration the cause, if any, shown by the University for such
failure or contravention with such recommendation, may withhold from the University the grant
proposed to be made out of the Fund of the Commission.

The receipt of this letter may kindly be acknowledge and action taken by the University in this
regard intimated to the commission as early as possible.
