NEW DELHI: The University Grants Commission on Friday doubled the number of UGC-CSIR fellowship from 1,600 to 3,200 even as it denied that a final decision had been taken on making the National Eligibility Test (NET) mandatory for teaching jobs.
The UGC-CSIR fellowswhips are given twice a year, 800 each time, with 500 for humanities and 300 for science. Now, these would be doubled to 1,000 for humanities and 600 for science.
UGC sources said the final decision on NET would be taken by the end of January. After a committee had recommended that those with M.Phil and without NET can take up teaching jobs, another committee headed by Planning Commission member BL Mungekar had said doing away with NET could affect the quality of teaching. It had demanded restoration of NET qualification for doing M.Phil.
