New Delhi, 12/3: In a major move, the University Grants Commission is going to do away with the mandatory PhD (PhD) requirement for teaching in central universities. The main reason behind this is to give opportunity to industry experts and professionals to teach in central universities, most of whom have ample knowledge in their field, but PhD degree is very near. For this, special posts like Professor of Practice and Associate Professor of Practice are being created by UGC. A diplomat says, after this decision of the UGC, there will be an opportunity to teach international relations in central universities.
