APPENDIX-III

TABLE-I

PROPOSED SCORES FOR ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE INDICATORS (APIs) IN

RECRUITMENTS AND CAREER ADVANCEMENT SCHEME (CAS) PROMOTIONS OF

GOVT. COLLEGE TEACHERS

CATEGORY- I: TEACHING, LEARNING AND EVALUATION RELATED ACTIVITIES

Brief Explanation : Based on the teacher's self-assessment, API scores are proposed for (a) teaching related activities ; (b) domain knowledge; (c) participation in examination and evaluation; (d) contribution to innovative teaching, new courses etc. The minimum API score required by teachers from this category is 75. The self- assessment score should be based on objectively verifiable criteria wherever possible and will be finalized by the screening /selection committee.

Colleges will be required to detail the activities and in case institutional specificities require, adjust the weightages, without changing the minimum total API scores required under this category.

Note: * Lectures and tutorials allocation to add up to the UGC norm for particular category of teacher. College may prescribe minimum cut-off (net of due leave), say 80% for 1 and 5 above, below which no scores may be assigned in these sub-categories.

CATEGORY-II: CO-CURRICULAR, EXTENSION AND PROFESSIONAL

DEVELOPMENT RELATED ACTIVITIES

Brief Explanation: Based on the teachers self-assessment, category-II API scores are proposed for co-curricular and extension activities, and Professional development related contributions.

The minimum API required by teachers for eligibility for promotion is 15. A list of items and proposed scores is given below. It will be noticed that all teachers can earn scores from a number of items, whereas some activities will be carried out only by one or a few teachers. The list of activities is board enough for the minimum API score required (15) in this category to accrue to all teachers. As above, the self-assessment score should be based on objectively verifiable criteria and will be finalized by the screening/selection committee.

The model table below gives groups of activities and API scores. Colleges may detail the activities or, in case institutional specificities require, adjust the weightages, without changing the minimum total API scores required under this category.

CATEGORY-III: RESEARCH AND ACADEMIC CONTRIBUTIONS

Brief Explanation: Based on the teacher's self-assessment, API scores are proposed for research and academic contributions. The minimum API score required by teachers from this category is different for different levels of promotion in Govt. Colleges of HP. The self- assessment score will be based on verifiable criteria and will be finalized by the screening / selection committee.

__________

Explanatory note for Table II (b)

1. All colleges will set up verifiable systems for the API related information required in these tables within Three months of notification of these regulations. They will have to be documented and collated annually by the Internal Quality Assessment Cells (IQACs) of the colleges for follow up by the college authorities. In order to facilitate this process, all teachers shall submit the duly filled-in Performance Based Appraisal System (PBAS) proforma to the IQAC annually.

2. However, in order to remedy the difficulties of collecting retrospective information and to facilitate the implementation of these Regulation from 30-06-10 in the CAS Promotion, the API based PBAS will be progressively and prospectively rolled out.

3. Accordingly, the PBAS based on the API scores of categories I and II as mentioned in these tables is to be implemented for one year, initially based on the existing systems in colleges for one year only with the minimum average scores as depicted in Table II (b) in rows I to III. This annualized API scores can then be compounded progressively as and when the teacher becomes eligible for CAS promotion to the next cadre. Thus, if a teacher is considered for CAS promotion in 2011, one year API scores fir 2010-11 alone will be required for assessment. In case of a teacher being considered for CAS promotion in 2012, two years average of API scores for these categories will be required for assessment and so on leading progressively for the complete assessment period.

4. As shown in Table II, the aggregate minimum API score required (given in row III) can be earned from any of the two broad categories, subject to the minimum prescribed in each category. This will provide for due weightage to teachers who contribute additionally through any of the components given in Categories I and II also for the differing nature of contributions possible in different institutional settings.

5. For Category III (research and academic contributions), maintenance of past record is done on a normal basis by teachers and hence no difficulty is envisaged in applying the API scores for this category for the entire assessment period. In this category, an aggregate minimum score is required for promotion over each stage. Alternatively, a teacher should acquire the required minimum aggregate score over two previous stages, taken together.

6. Candidates should offer themselves for assessment for promotion, if they fulfill the minimum API scores indicated in Table I and II, by submitting an application and the required proforma. They can do so three months before the due date if they consider6951 राजपत्र, हिमाचल प्रदेश, 21 मार्च, 2012/1 चैत्र, 1934 themselves eligible. Candidates who do not consider themselves eligible, can also apply at a later date.

7. If however, on final assessment, candidates do not either fulfill the minimum criteria under Rows III and IV of Table II (b) or obtain less than 50% in the expert assessment, they will be reassessed only after a minimum period of one year.

8. (a) If a candidate applies for promotion on completion of the minimum eligibility period and is successful, the date of promotion will be deemed to be the minimum period of eligibility.

(b) If however, the candidate finds that she /he fulfils the eligibility conditions at a late date and applies on that date and is successful, her /his promotion will be deemed to be from that date of application.

(c) If the candidate does not succeed in the first assessment, but succeeds in an eventual assessment, her / his promotion will be deemed to be from the later date.
