Minimum Qualifications for Appointment on Teaching and other Academic Posts:

progressively as and when the teacher becomes eligible for CAS promotion to the next
cadre with the multiplication factor of remaining years of service required to apply for CAS
promotion from 2009-10. Thus, if a teacher is eligible for CAS promotion in 2009, one year
API scores for 2008-09 alone will be required for assessment. In case of a teacher becoming
for CAS promotion in 2010, two years average of API scores for 2008-09 and 2009-10 will
be required for assessment and so on leading progressively for the complete assessment
period.
4. As shown in Table 3, the aggregate minimum API score required (given in row III) can
be earned from any of the two board categories, subject to the minimum prescribed in
each category. This will provide for due weightage to teachers who contribute additionally
through any of the components given in Categories 1 and 2 also for the differing nature of
contributions possible in different institutional settings

5. For Category 3 (research and academic contributions), maintenance of past record is done on
a normal basis by teachers and hence no difficulty is envisaged in applying the API scores for
this category for the entire assessment period. In this category, a aggregate minimum score is
required for promotion over each stage. Alternatively, a teacher should acquire the required
minimum aggregate score over two previous stages, taken together
6. Candidates should offer themselves for assessment for promotion, if they fulfill the minimum
API scores indicated in the table, by submitting an application and the required proforma.
They can do so three months before the due date if they consider themselves eligible.
Candidates who do not consider themselves eligible, can also apply at a later date.

7. If however, on final assessment, candidates do not either fulfill the minimum criteria under
Rows III and IV or obtain less than 50% in the expert assessment, they will be reassessed
only after a minimum period of one year.
8. (a) If a candidate applies for promotion on completion of the minimum eligibility period and
is successful, the date of promotion will be deemed to be the minimum period of eligibility.
(b) If however, the candidate finds that she / he fulfills the eligibility conditions at a late
date and applies on that date and is successful, her / his promotion will be deemed to be
from that date of application
(c) If the candidate does not succeed in the first assessment, but succeeds in an eventual
assessment, her / his promotion will be deemed to be from the later date.
