My take is:
- I do not understand the logic behind the rule PhD research period is also teaching experience.
- Most of the faculty acquire PhD while in service, on deputation or a few go for long leave for a limited period.
- There is no clarity as to how to count experience, To me experience be counted after acquiring a particular basic minimum qualification prescribed for a cadre.
- If it is accepted, then any one with ME/M Tech or higher qualification with no experience can become Assistant Professor in engineering college. There is a provision of higher AGP for those possessing ME/M Tech or PhD
- .Please note that Lecturer in Polytechnic with BE/B Tech qualification with no experience draws the same AGP in the given pay band of Asst Professor in degree colleges.
- For the post of Associate Professor PhD is a must with 5 years experience of Asst. Professor.
- For the post of Professor, PhD must, 10 years experience out of which at least 5 years must at the Associate Professor level.
- Moreover 75% posts of Professors are reserved (for promotion) for those who started their career as Asst. Professor.
- But rules are bent as one wants, e.g., expecting teaching experience for the post of Assistant Professor, a BE (Mechanical), MMS became Work Shop Superintendent: Govt. aided engineering college: 19985,a second class ME (Civil) became a Professor in Civil Engineering: 1988: PSC selection, an ME in Electrical Engineering became Professor in Electronics:2005, BE, ME and PhD in Instrumentation became a Professor of Electronics: 2009, BE(Metallurgy), ME (Metallurgy) PhD (Metallurgy) became a Professor in Mechanical Engineering: 2010,BE(Electronics), ME (Electronics) and PhD became a Professor of Computer Science: 2012, etc. The years stated are as remembered. These are but some anomalies I have come across.
- Moreover, mind well, if I remember correctly, for the Post of Professor Ph D was mandatory as early as 1985 or so. But what was the real scenario?
Respected Professor Bholanath Sir, ..... thank you very much for the good news conveyed by you.....also I am conveying my regards for your invaluable statement ......." We have a large number of unemployed meritorious PhD holders" ......
.... I could not get suitable teaching opportunity in institutions mainly due to lack of teaching experience after acquiring Ph.D. degree.....
.... Though I happened to be Doctoral degree holder with around 30 publications and rich administrative and technical experience, yet I could not get teaching opportunity......
..... it is a good decision.....with regards..... dr vishnumurty narra, psu officer, hyderabad....

NowPhD research period is also teaching experience: UGC
A period spent on acquiring a PhD degree without any leave will now be counted as teaching experience of candidates applying for direct recruitment to vacant positions of faculties or promotion in the higher educational institutions.
"The period of active service spent on pursuing a research degree, i.e, for acquiring PhD degree simultaneously withouttaking any kind of leave may be counted as teaching experience for the purpose of direct recruitment/promotion to the post of associate professor and above." the commission decided.
The commission's decision was seen in the academic circles as an effort to primarily facilitate filling up of posts lying vacant in large numbers across the country's universities and other higher educational institutions.
Many of the universities and other higher educational institutions demand at least two to three years teaching experience for recruitment to vacant posts of faculties.
"We have a large number of unemployed meritorious PhD holders. The decision to treat the period spent by them in acquiring a PhD degree as teaching experience will not only open doors of employment to many of such degree holders, but also facilitate institutions fill up their teaching positions lying vacant for years," official sources said.
