The UGC requires all lecturers to take an orientation course to be eligible for senior lecturer position. In their wisdom (?) they treat college lecturers on par with the University lecturers/assistant professors. So I, in order to be eligible for senior scale pay, have to attend this course.
Ugh!
And that about sums up the nonsense. It is a month long course. I hope I remain sane at the end of it.
Oh, to attend the course I need the permission of the Dean for there are M.Sc/M.Phil courses to be taught. The Dean gave permission under the condition that I would take the classes in the afternoon.
So I attend the (dis)orientation course from 9-2. Come back. And then start teaching my regular courses.
Help!
