Delhi University Teachers: Many Delhi University teachers can now be promoted following the 2018 Act's revision governing the University Grants Commission's (UGC) hiring of teachers. Teachers may apply for promotion under the 2010 guidelines if they were not granted one under the 2018 Act.
Teachers with PhDs earned after 2021 will also fall under this category. Promotion from Assistant Professor to Levels 11 and 12, and Associate Professor to Level 13, did not require a PhD under the 2010 UGC regulations. As a result of publishing papers and passing the NET, they were promoted. Their point table was examined in addition to this.
Promotion rules changed in 2018
A PhD was now required to become an associate professor, according to a 2018 rule amendment. The 2010 regulations still apply until 2021, meaning that instructors could seek advancement until then. Nevertheless, in 2022, this need was removed.
Many instructors who were eligible for promotion after this were unable to apply. Because they did not finish their PhD, many instructors applied after 2022 and were promoted, but they were not eligible for enhanced pay and benefits for a period of one to two years.

Exemption given till December 2024
UGC has now granted them another reprieve till December 2024 in response to the teachers' petition. After accepting a promotion, candidates may reapply as of the day they become eligible. They'll be able to collect the unpaid pay and benefit liabilities as a result. It will benefit their professional life. Following this, DU released a notification with details on the third and fourth changes to the 2018 Acts of UGC.
Teachers should apply again
Teachers who meet the 2010 standards for promotion are invited to reapply or submit their applications. They are eligible to apply under the CAS or Career Advancement Scheme. Every department and college has a promotion committee that is responsible for reviewing applications and making decisions regarding promotions.
Dr. Harendra Tiwari, a member of the DU Academic Council, stated that more than 3500 appointments had been made at DU since the rules changed. The majority of these instructors have long experience providing ad hoc instruction. Within a few days of their hiring, they were qualified for promotion; but, since the 2010 rules had been removed and they had not finished their PhDs, they were unable to seek promotion. These educators will now have the opportunity to advance.
