In keeping with the demand of job aspirations of NET or Ph.D qualifiers, UGC has launched a dedicated academic job portal enabling candidates to register and create their profile online.

The portal -- www.ugc.ac.in/jobportal -- would facilitate the employers to search and browse academic profile of candidates available on it and register and post the job vacancies on this portal so that candidates can apply against the vacancies, said UGC officials.

The HRD Ministry had also strongly advocated for such a website taking in view of the aspirations of the prospective candidates and higher education institutes for an academic job site.

"This portal is going to serve the two constituencies namely the job seekers and employers. While it will help students create their academic profile and bring them to the notice of the universities, colleges and other potential employers, it will also enable the employers to post their job vacancies for talent hunt," UGC acting chairman Ved Prakash said in a letter to the vice chancellors.

Asking them to popularise the initiative, he requested the universities to consider uploading of job advertising of their universities for academic positions.

The portal will also provide browsing, searching, filtering of academic profiles created by qualified candidates on a number of parameters.

In addition, universities and other institutes as employer can also verify the NET qualified candidates through the same interface, the UGC official said.
