The college teachers on the University Grants Commission (UGC) pay scale had reasons to be delighted with the Karnataka High Court.

The court held that their age of retirement will have to be enhanced to 65 as per the UGC Regulations,

This regulation had enhanced the age of superannuation to 65 but the State government had extended the age of superannuation only up to 62 though it revised the pay scale as per UGC Regulations.

Teachers must retire at 60: Karnataka HC

The court said that the petitioner-teachers shall continue in service in the posts held by them as on the date of petitions or immediately prior thereto, till they attain the age of superannuation of 65, in accordance with UGC Regulations with all consequential benefits.

In University in Karnataka there has been voices protesting against the older lot of teachers who don’t even have the requisite qualifications as per the UGC norms.

According to young faculty, 80% of the teachers who have been brought under the UGC scales in 1992 and 1998 have no qualification except a Master’s degree, while the UGC stipulations demand that they should have passed the National Eligibility Test (NET), State-Level Eligibility Test (SLET) or should possess a PhD.

But only 20% of the 436 teachers have passed the SLET or NET and only a few are PhDs.

Under the present condition, the ideal age for superannuation is 62 in universities and 60 in government and aided colleges.

But the state government has made it 62 in some colleges and 65 in some others.
