Information and Instruction:

1. Applicants with grade/grade points should write the percentage equivalent according to the formula used by their Boards/Universities. As grade/grade points are typically associated with an interval of marks, the exact midpoint of the relevant interval should be considered for the purpose. It is the responsibility of the applicants to obtain the necessary certification from their Boards/Universities in support of their claims.

a) They will be required to justify the 'percentage equivalent’ claimed by them at the time of interview and failure to do so may even lead to the cancellation of their candidature or calculation of the percentage equivalent by the Commission itself by whatever method it considers reasonable, including the methodology suggested in this regard by the University Grants Commission in its “Regulations on Minimum Qualification of Appointment of Teachers and Other Academic Staff in Universities and Colleges and Measures for the Maintenance of Standards in Higher Education , 2010”.

b) No complaints in that regard will be entertained at any later stage.

2. The competent authority of judging the equivalence of all degrees obtained from foreign Universities is Association of Indian Universities (AIU). Candidates are advised to have their foreign degrees authenticated as equivalent to their Indian counterparts from AIU. The selection committee may not recognize a degree as a valid one in the absence of such an equivalence certificate.

3. The cut-off date for all items of qualification and experience, including publication, shall be 10/06/2022. The age of the candidate, however, shall be calculated on 1st January, 2022.

4. The Assessment Criteria and Methodology for calculating Academic / Research Score designed in accordance with UGC Regulations, 2018 is uploaded in the website (www.wbcsc.org.in). All applicants are requested to study carefully the same, calculate their Academic / Research Score and fill-in the Academic / Research Score format. Please note that Academic / Research Score is a crucial component of the eligibility-cumselection criteria, and therefore, accuracy in filling up the Academic / Research Score format is very important for one’s candidature.

5. The ‘relevance’, or lack of it, of the area of expertise of a candidate vis-a-vis the subjects taught in a College, will be decided by the experts representing the Universities on the interview board and their decision will be final and binding.

6. It should be noted that calculation of experience should not involve double counting of the same period. For example, acting as a Bursar in a College for one year will not entitle an applicant to claim one year’s teaching experience as well as one year’s administrative experience.
