In a letter to the Vice-Chancellors of all universities, the UGC informed that it is in the process of upgrading the job portal with the inclusion of Non-Teaching vacancies and also adding some new features.
The upgraded portal shall become functional shortly.
“You are requested to kindly upload their job vacancies on this portal which will help in this emanating the information to the eligible candidates,” UGC letter read.
In another development, the UGC has also asked Universities to upload the best practices adopted by respective institutes on the 'University Activity Monitoring Portal (UAMP)'. This will motivate and inspire other universities to achieve new and high standards of education and research.
It is pertinent to mention here that during the COVID-I9 pandemic, a number of universities had come up with trend setting practices in the management of teaching learning methods and conduct of examinations.
“However, devising and adopting the best practices is not and should not be dependent upon a particular unpredictable crisis. It should be an evolving and continuing process,” the letter added.
