(ii) No one shall be eligible to be appointed, promoted or designated as Professor, unless he or she possesses a Ph.D. and satisfies other academic conditions, as laid down by the University Grants Commission (UGC) from time to time.

The Pay of directly recruited Professor is to be fixed at 43000/-

But where is the Fitment table for the fixation of a directly recruited Professor.

There is an issue of seniority...please clarify...
According to UGC regulations who is senior?....a lecturer appointed in selection grade(2005) and later promoted to reader designate(2006) or a lecturer who is promoted to selection grade(2004) prior to the earlier mentioned lecturer but not a reader designate...?
