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?

- This as such is not a special provision (directive) made by UGC but a normal/natural/lawful practice observed as a part of T & C of services of the existing employees in any Sector: Govt, education, defense, etc.
- "May" is not a loophole but it is the administrative practice of expressing affirmation.
- Now, let us understand how the directive is natural: One is in active service (existing employee in continuous service) and is undergoing PhD program on deputation or sponsorship and not taken any leave (without pay: counted as break in service) for Ph D program. Earned/special/sabbatical leave or extraordinary leave without pay or lien are however admissible to the employee in active (continuous) service and not treated as break in service.
- Obviously the period spent for acquiring PhD is but a part of continuous service that is lawfully counted for direct recruitment/promotion to the post of Associate Professor or above subject to one has in one's hand the requisite dgree (PhD) on the date of interview/promotion.
- To be eligible for the post of Associate Professor two things are mandatory: PhD and 5 years experience as Assistant Professor or so.
- Mind well for the post of Professor one must be PhD with 10 years experience out of which at least 5 years at Associate Professor level. To be Associate Professor one must be PhD with 5 years teaching experience as Asst. Professor.
- And above all, 75% posts of Professors are reserved for those who entered in teaching as Assistant Professor!

Now PhD 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 without taking 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.
