API- UGC 2010


Education in India
Q. What are concerns about grading system (API) of UGC 2010 Regulation?
The NET examination was introduced to ensure minimum standards among teachers in higher education. Today there is a flood of M.Phil. and Ph.D. and NET-qualified students without significant improvement in quality.
Now, the UGC, in an attempt to improve the quality of faculty, is enforcing a bureaucratized system of evaluation of faculty under the ‘UGC 2010 Regulations,’ based on a numerical system of indexing merit, called API. It would lead to ‘paper chase.’ How many papers or books written, conferences attended, projects completed, and so on.
