Dear Sir/Madam Kindly provide information on the following: 1. Please find attached the UGC notification dated 6th july 2015. I want to ask if this notification apply to the IITs. 2. IITs have the norm of recruiting assistant professors for 3 years under contract if they do not have the required post PhD experience. Are these professors allowed to take PhD students before they are regularised by the selection committee. 3. In the case above, if the faculty takes a PhD student before appearing before the selection committee and the committee recommends not to regularise the faculty and the faculty moves to other institute at the end of contract period and the student stays in the parent institute. In such a case, is the faculty eligible to guide the student externally as a supervisor. Hope to get the response at the earliest. Thanking you
