Subject: Rectification in the UGC norms of API for College Librarian in Appendix III Table VII in the UGC guidelines dated 30.6.2010. 

UGC issued guidelines on 30.6.2010 for the minimum point norms of the APIs for the promotion of College Teachers, College Director of Physical Education and College Librarian.

There is a mistake in the above mentioned table in category III Research and Academic contribution for promotion of College Librarian from stage 1 to stage 2, stage 2 to stage 3 and stage 3 to stage 4 as follows: IV Research and Academic Contribution (Category III) – Minimum Annual Score Required – to be assessed cumulatively 5/Year (40 assessment period) 10/Year (100 assessment period) 15/ Year (90 assessment period) Sir, the assessment period for promotion from stage 1 to stage 2 is minimum 4 year instead of 40/assessment period minimum score should have been 20/assessment period @ 5/year (as mentioned in case of corresponding College Teachers and College Director of Physical education). The assessment period for promotion from stage 2 to stage 3 is 5 year instead of 100/assessment period minimum score should have been 50/assessment period @ 10/year (as mentioned in case of corresponding College Teachers and College Director of Physical Education). Similarly the assessment period for promotion from stage 3 to stage 4 is 3 year instead of 90/assessment period minimum score should have been 45/assessment period @ 15/year.

Kindly give representations to UGC officials for rectifying above Numbers.
