5. Applicants for faculty positions from Organizations other than Educational

Institutes like Industries
Candidates who do not have experience in Educational Institutions in past 5 years or
more, their overall professional work will be valued by selection committee as equivalent to
essential / desirable qualification. This will also be applicable to candidates whose experience in
past 5 years is in institutions which do not offer P.G. or Doctoral program.
Candidates from industries having substantial professional and R&D experience,
but not having a Ph.D. degree, the requirement of Ph.D. degree may be waived if they have
good number (say 10) of publications in leading journals of the field and the candidates are the
lead author. In all other cases, such a candidate may be taken on contract till he completes the
Ph.D. degree.

6. Selection Procedure for faculty posts:

It is expected that the NITs recruit faculty who have earned their degrees from Institutes of
high-standing in India or abroad. The Scrutiny Committee and the Selection Committee are
expected to judge the quality of the training that the candidates received during their own
academic careers from the standards of the Institutes from where they earned their degrees. It
will be within the power and responsibility of these Committees to reject candidates from
Institution of low-standing even if their degrees and grades are above the required level. This
consideration is applicable to candidates at Assistant Professor level.

I.

A single individual is not expected to meet all the essential performance criteria. But in
the judgment of the Selection Committee, the sum total of his contribution should

exceed the sum total of the essential requirements given in the essential requirements
table in terms of scholastic effort necessary.
II.

Experience will be counted only when it is earned in a reputed institute, university,

industry or laboratory on a job relevant to the department to which a candidate is
applying. Experience shall normally mean the experience earned after award of M. Tech.
degree.

III.

The Selection Committee shall consider publications in journals of reasonable standing,

ignoring publication in very weak journals. Professional judgment of experts in this
matter shall not be questioned.

IV.

A publication shall normally mean publications which are covered by the Science
Citation Index (SCI) where ever applicable. Papers accepted for publication and actually
published will be seen to be at par.

V.

In case of joint publications and joint Ph.D. guidance in an institution where there is no
concept of Principal Supervisor, the Scrutiny Committee and the Selection Committee
shall assign fractional credit. The Committees decisions on such matters shall be final in
respective domains.

VI.

In Institutes without significant postgraduate or doctoral programme, as a temporary

measure, the selection committees may consider and evaluate publication of text
books, sponsored projects from funding agencies, formal lecture notes, M. Tech and
M.S. projects guided and collaborative work with industry as scholastic work in lieu of
experience in guiding Ph. Ds.

VII.

The essential qualifications and other essential requirement are bare minimum for
