What is the difference between UGC Table 3A and 3B?

Table 3A is used for shortlisting Assistant Professors in University Departments (Higher Caps, e.g., PhD=30), while Table 3B is for Colleges (Lower Caps, e.g., PhD=25).

How is the Research Score calculated for CAS Promotion?

For CAS (Career Advancement Scheme), the Research Score is calculated based on Table 2. It is cumulative and uncapped. It includes points for research papers, books, policy documents, and research guidance.

Does this tool save my data?

Yes, the tool uses local storage to automatically save your inputs (papers, headings, grades) in your browser so you do not lose progress on refresh.

Can I use this for non-DU universities?

Yes, this logic is based on the central UGC 2018 Regulations, which are followed by most central and state universities in India, including HU, JNU, BHU, and Jamia.

Understanding the Calculation Logic

Based on UGC Regulations 2018 (Table 3A & 3B)

For direct recruitment of Assistant Professors in Universities and Colleges, the selection is based on a composite score out of 100.

Criteria	University Cap	College Cap
Academic Score	84 Marks	80 Marks
Research Publications	10 Marks (Strict Cap)	6 Marks (Strict Cap)
Teaching Experience	10 Marks	10 Marks
Total	100	100

Important Capping Rules:

Ph.D. + M.Phil: Maximum 30 Marks (University) or 25 Marks (College).
JRF/NET/SET: Maximum 7 to 10 Marks depending on category.
Awards: Maximum 3 Marks in total.

Official Reference

Refer to "Minimum Qualifications for Appointment of Teachers and other Academic Staff in Universities and Colleges" (July 2018).

Note: Check specific University Ordinances (like DU Ordinance XXIV) as they sometimes have minor variations in shortlisting criteria.

Based on Performance Based Appraisal System (PBAS)

For Career Advancement Scheme (CAS) promotions (e.g., Level 10 to 11, 11 to 12), the criteria shifts to Annual Grading and Cumulative Research Score.

Table 1: Annual Assessment

Faculty must ensure "Good" or "Satisfactory" grades in Annual Performance Assessment Reports (APAR) for the duration of the assessment period.

Assistant Prof (10-11): 4-5 Years
Assistant Prof (11-12): 5 Years
Associate Prof (12-13A): 3 Years

Table 2: Research Score Methodology

Research scores are calculated cumulatively. Key multipliers include:

Peer-Reviewed Journals: Base points depend on stream (8 for Science, 25 for Arts).
Impact Factor (IF) Bonus:
- No IF: +0
- IF < 1: +10
- IF 1-2: +15
- IF > 10: +30

Authorship Split:
Two Authors: 50% each.
More than Two: First/Principal gets 70%, others get 30%.

Frequently Asked Questions

Table 3A applies to University Departments where the requirements are slightly higher (e.g., PhD = 30 marks). Table 3B applies to Colleges where the caps are tighter (e.g., PhD = 25 marks). This calculator lets you toggle between them using the "Selection Criteria" box.

For CAS (Career Advancement Scheme), we follow UGC Table 2 which uses a cumulative score approach. Unlike "Fresh Recruitment" which has a cap of 10 marks for publications, CAS research scores are uncapped. You get points for every paper, book, and student guided.

Use the "Faculty Stream" toggle to switch between Science (8 pts/paper) and Arts (25 pts/paper) base scores.
