University Grants Commission (UGC) gives permission to Osmania
University to conduct Andhra Pradesh State Eligibility Test (AP. SET)
for the next three years in 27 subjects related to Sciences, Arts and
Humanities.
UGC has sent a letter to the Osmania University, and they expressed
overall satisfaction over the smooth and successful conduct of SET last
year.
Usually UGC grants accreditation for one year, but it is a rare
distinction that Osmania University has given accreditation for the next
three consecutive years starting from June, 2013, a statement from the
OU said.
Accordingly UGC, New Delhi has been conducting the UGCNET Examination
regularly. It has felt that an eligibility test at the national level
may not be completely able to represent the subjects which are regional
in their character. Moreover, there was a demand from the aspiring
candidates to appear for the test in their own mother tongue, wherever
applicable.
The OU intends to conduct the SET this year in August. The State
governments and Union Territories have given an option of conducting SET
examinations in English and respective languages for eligibility for
Lecturer and assistant professor jobs at the State-level.
Every year Osmania University conducts Andhra Pradesh State Eligibility
Test (AP. SET) for candidates besides possessing minimum academic
qualifications are required to qualify in a comprehensive test
specifically conducted for the purpose of obtaining eligibility for
appointment as Lecturers/Assistant Professors.
The State Eligibility Test (SET) is based on the pattern of the National
Eligibility Test (CSIR/UGCNET) conducted by UGC/CSIR. The State
Governments and Union Territories, who wish to conduct the SET are
supposed to obtain accreditation from UGC from time to time.
Now, the Andhra Pradesh Government has decided to conduct SET
Examination in the interest of a large number of aspirants for
recruitment as Assistant Professors/Lecturers through direct recruitment
or by promotions in universities and degree colleges in the State and
also to facilitate the candidates to appear for the test in Telugu
medium, wherever applicable.
