DUTA Rejects Points System for Appointments and Promotions; Warns UGC and MHRD of Impending Agitations  The Delhi University Teachers’ Association (DUTA) is dismayed at the UGC’s decision to link the controversial API and Points-based Assessment System (PBAS) with teachers’ appointments and promotions in colleges and University departments. Despite several representations and meetings with the UGC Revisit Committee, in which the DUTA has clearly argued that besides being discriminatory, the Points System will adversely impact the quality of teaching, attraction towards the teaching profession and the relationship between teachers and students in institutions of higher learning, none of its concerns seem to have been addressed. In fact, the summary inclusion of the Points System in the UGC’s latest Regulations indicates that it never took the concerns and criticisms made by the DUTA, and other teachers’ associations, seriously.

The Delhi University Teachers’ Association (DUTA) shares in the nation’s grief over the terrible and extensive loss of life, home and livelihood owing to the recent floods and landslides in Uttarakhand.

The Delhi University Teachers’ Association (DUTA) categorically objects to this perverse move to wean these colleges away from the University in the name of academic and administrative autonomy.
