The University Grants Commission on 14 November, 2022 has issued Guidelines for engaging Professor of Practice in Universities and Colleges. To enable Higher Educational Institutions to hire professional experts, the UCC has created a new position called “Professor of Practice” and published the guidelines for creating Professor of Practice. UGC has also written to all HEls regarding the engagement of Professor of Practice.
Vice-Chancellors of Universities and Principals of Colleges are requested to take steps to make necessary changes in their statutes/ordinances/rules/regulations, to appoint professor of practice and to intimate the same to UGC.
