The University Grants Commission (UGC) has reversed its previous decision on mandatory PhD qualifications for assistant professors, making it optional once again. The minimum criteria for recruitment will now be the NET, SET and SLET. In 2021, the UGC extended the date of applicability of PhD to July 2023 for recruitment of assistant professors, due to Covid-related issues that slowed the progress of research work.
