The above is ridiculous. May be it made sense in 1950 or 1960 when there were very few Ph.Ds. In the current situation it does not make sense at all. Fortunately, Ravenshaw University is trying to have a different criteria of evaluation than the above.

Wow. This is incredible. How does one quantify quality? This may be a reasonable scheme for first level filtering and deciding whom to invite for interviews. But beyond that, god save the universities.

The merits of a teacher candidate may not be well evaluated through publications in the form of books and essays in journals unless those works are not contributory to the development of knowledge in the particular faculty. Sometimes very well designed works have been found unnecessary, plagued and mere statements of old facts. Should not Universities put together their minds to find out more live ways in recruiting teachers? Should we not consider that Information on a particular subject is not enough? Are not Creativity, Imagination and Innovation leading to problem solving, and giving one’s scholarship Meaning and Purpose in accordance to the needs of the community equally important?Certainly, we do not need people who are Good for Nothing! I do not need a scholar of economics who does understand and make me understand the economy that governs our life here and now! Then, do those old Marksheets and Certificates suffice? What are other methods to adjudge? I think we must deliberate on this critically.
