Aspirant runs from pillar to post to seek justice
Two representations of my younger brother namely ArshadHussain Bhat to seek promotion were ignored by the concerned authoritiesdespite two posts being vacant in the department.
He had sought legitimate promotion for the post of seniorassistant. These two 100% promotion quota posts were not filled by the DPC heldon 02-08-2018 despite the candidate being eligible by having passed secretariatassistant examination his representations are lying unattended. Both therepresentations stand sent in hard and soft forms but the fate of these is stillnot known even after the lapse of more than three months now.
I am pained to see my younger brother running from pillar topost to seek justice from August 2018 but all his efforts so-far have gone invain.
I urge Jammu and Kashmir Governor Satya Pal Malik to lookinto the matter and get the grievance of my younger brother redressed.

This is in response to the merit list of contractuallecturers published by the English department of distance education Universityof Kashmir 2019. The merit list hasbeen prepared as per UGC regulations in July 2018 wherein 30 marks have beenallotted to PhD candidates leaving NET/Jrf/SET candidates in the lurch.
We want to bring it into the notice of the KU authoritiesthat as per UGC notification issued on16 October 2018 every PhD candidate isn’t exempted from NET/SET and cannot beawarded 30 points if he or she hasn’t cleared eligibility tests. The onlyexceptions are those PhD holders, who have been enrolled prior to July 11,2009. NET/SET/SLET is a must for entrylevel in higher education teachers. The UGC has made it mandatory for allentry-level higher education teachers to clear the NET or SET or state leveleligibility test.
