Can a University Change the Norms of Minimum Essential Requirement for Recruitment?
Recruitment of Librarian:
UTTAR BANGA KRISHI VISWAVIDYALAYA
Experience: At least ten years experience in Libraries of reputed Universities/Research Institutions of which at least five years should be in senior capacity.
But UGC says,
"At least thirteen years as a Deputy Librarian in a university
library or eighteen years experience as a University Assistant Librarian/College Librarian."
Can a university change the norms?

Dear Dr. Majumder,
First, I would like to congratulate you for your New laurel.
As I understand, the UGC set the rules/norms for recruitment of staff for institutions under its aegis. However, if it is observed/perceived that staff with requisite qualification, Experience &/or expertise are either may not be available or may not continue for long, the Universities may modify such norms occasionally in dire need.
It may also be possible that Universities as AUTONOMOUS ORGANIZATIONS, have such rights. I personally feel that in the light of nature of jobs involved, the norm of 13 years' working experience as College Librarian is not befitting for being considered for the post of University Librarian. (Of course I must admit there are individuals in College Libraries who are extremely competent) By and large, librarians in most of the research institutes are far more competent if their nature of jobs are compared with those working in the College Libraries. Of course, the later are not bestowed with the generosity of UGC rules!! but so far the load, responsibility & nature of their work are concerned, they are usually more ahead than their counterparts in Colleges.
However, certain issues often varies. For instance, the amount of Application Fees for various posts often varies fro Universities to Universities. ( I have no idea though whether UGC has any standard rules/norm in this respect!)
Sincerely,
Siddhartha S. Ray, Calcutta
