The earlier designations of lecturer (equivalent to junior assistant professor), senior lecturer (equivalent to assistant professor), and reader (equivalent to associate professor) have been abolished since 2009. There are three faculty ranks "Assistant Professor", "Associate Professor" and "Professor." The commission's selection is based on scores for MA/MSc, National Eligibility Test (NET) conducted by University Grants Commission (UGC) and the Public Service Commission interviews. There are two routes to enter academia, one through direct selection by a university or college (government or private), and the second through competitive selection by a centralized commission. "Professor" is the highest academic rank in India, and is comparable to similar ranks used in United States and European universities. There is no such academic rank as a "Senior Professor", as is often used by some senior faculty members to indirectly state that they are in a higher pay grade (HAG scale). It is common nowadays to see more Professors than the combined strength of Assistant and Associate Professors at any typical department. Promotion to the position of (full) Professorship is usually never difficult. The review requires a certain number of journal and conference publications, recommendations from reviewers in India and abroad, and an exemplary record of teaching and service. Early reviews for promotion to Associate Professorship can be conducted in the fourth year of employment, although, it is becoming more common for promotion and tenure to be awarded in the sixth year of employment. Applicants with less experience are appointed to a "contract" position, which is similar to a "non tenure-track" position in U.S. and preferably three years of postdoctoral experience (relaxable). style three-tiered academic system, with strict requirements for entry-level positions.Īn Assistant Professor's position requires a Ph.D. Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore (IISc), Indian Institutes of Engineering Science and Technology ( IIEST, Shibpur), Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology (IIST, Thiruvananthapuram), Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research (IISERs), National Institutes of Technology (NITs), National Institute of Science Education and Research (NISER) and Indian Institutes of Information Technology (IIITs) follow the U.S.
