Overview
- The Higher and Technical Education Department issued a February 11 government resolution authorizing universities to adopt the new process, publish candidate scores online and video-record interviews.
- A dedicated 20% teaching-skills assessment is introduced, with shortlisted candidates required to deliver a mock lecture before the selection committee.
- The fixed merit cutoff for interview shortlisting is scrapped, giving universities discretion over how many eligible candidates to call for interviews.
- Teaching experience earned on clock-hour, contractual, ad hoc or hourly appointments will count toward eligibility, offering relief to many assistant professors.
- Rules for Humanities are eased to award marks for book publications, and marking now reflects institutional rankings, with interviews evaluating ICT and advanced technical competencies.
