Port Blair, June 28: Shri Kuldeep Rai Sharma, PCC President met the Lt Governor today and requested for enhancing age limit to the Assistant Professor as per the UGC norms and creation of regular posts for Assistant Professors.

Sharma also explained that as per his knowledge, instead of appointing permanent Assistant Professors for various streams in the colleges, services of Guest lecturers are being availed by the JNRM, Port Blair and MGGC, Mayabunder. With an uncertain future these Guest lecturers cannot concentrate on their duties at par with the permanent lecturers of their status and thus requested to consider creating permanent posts for such Assistant Professors in both the colleges.

As per rules, the interview for the posts of Assistant Professors are being conducted by UPSC which advertises  the vacancy at all India level and many candidates from mainland also compete with the local candidates and those candidates from mainland perform better in the interview than the local candidates as they have already achieved good experience in mainland where many facilities are widely available. After getting wide experience as Assistant Profs in our colleges, most of the mainland based candidates resigns from the posts and proceed to mainland keeping behind vacant posts for which long procedures are being initiated again. 

Sharma has thus requested for finding out a way so that interview for only local candidates may be conducted through UPSC.
