Modalities for Calculation of API Scores under 4^th

Amendment to UGC Regulations, 2010

Modalities for calculation of API scores for appointment/promotion of teachers and other academic staff in the University, pursuant to amendment to UGC (Minimum Qualifications for Appointment of Teachers and other Academic Staff in Universities and Measures of Maintenance of Standards in Higher Education).

UGC recently revised the Minimum Qualification for Appointment of Teachers and other Academic Staff in Universities and colleges and measures for maintenance of Standards in Higher Education under its 3rd and 4th Amendments.

UGC has directed the Universities to detail the activities and adjust the weightages without changing the minimum total API scores required under each category.

As against the earlier guidelines, these amendments lay down the regulations by virtue of which the API score will be calculated as per the time spent in each activity by the teacher under Category I and II of the regulations.

In this regard, DIQA evolved a framework in tune with the guidelines with consultation with all the stakeholders which was later presented before the academic administrators and Vice-Chancellors Forum of the State. The following three features were the hallmarks of the framework:
