Summary:
The University must seek permission to complete this round of appointments on the basis of the advertisements as per the existing reservation roster," it said. "It is unfortunate that the appointments which should have been completed by now stands jeopardized because of this U-turn by the Government. "The 5th March 2018 letter of the UGC marks a significant U-turn in the reservation policy of the government as it directs universities to prepare rosters Department/Subject-wise. As a result, there will not be adequate representation in teaching positions for SC/ST/OBC categories as per the Constitutional requirement of 15%, 7.5% and 27% respectively," DUTA said in a statement. The body is also demanding counting of total past service in temporary and Ad-hoc capacity for appointments and promotions and withdrawal of the March 5 UGC notification for implementation of Department-wise Roster and Continuation of 200-point Reservation Roster with University/College as Unit..
