Post and corresponding grades
What I want to know is if in an academic institution Librarian's grade is on par with the Professors, then what is the grade of Assitant Librarian? Is there any UGC dictum to show these grades please?

Dear Ms. Satya P. Shetty,
Thanks for your post. I have gone through the two replies as well. They are absolutely correct for academic institutions under the sole purview of UGC. However, there are some academic institutions which are NOT under the Purview of UGC. They are mostly autonomous institutions. In many cases, they have certain posts with UGC Scales like those of Faculties, Librarian & Registrar only but other posts are not under UGC Scales; (often they are either Central Govt. Pay Scales or State Govt Pay Scales). So you see, there exists some deviations in some cases.
Sincerely,
Siddhartha S. Ray, Calcutta
