UGC will contest appointment of Priya Varghese

"Real Teaching Experience Needed", Single Bench of Justice Devan Ramachandran in November 2022.


'Period Spent By Teacher To Pursue PhD Can Be Counted As Teaching Experience' : Division bench of Kerala High Court comprising Justice A K Jayasankaran Nambiar and Justice Mohammed Nias C P in June 2023.

The RTI query revealed she got the maximum marks (32 out of 50) in the personal interview, while the the second-ranked candidate Jacob Skariah scored 30, but her research score was a mere 156, while the second-ranked candidate secured 651. However, she was ranked first based on the personal interview.

This part of interview marks may be easily challenged by Priya as UGC say score (Academic Score - 80,  Research Publications - 10 and Teaching Experience - 10) is only a criterion to be selected for interview, but the duration in deputation is not at all eligible for the teaching post.

"Criteria for Short-listing of Candidates for Interview for the Post of Assistant Professors in Universities. Number of candidates to be called for interview shall be decided by the concerned universities." is big loophole for these kind of appointments and the following judgements like these.

The above faulty judgement by the Division Bench will definitely be contested by UGC in Supreme Court, as it will lead to a lot of legal battles by ineligible candidates by Priya Varghese. 

Priya Varghese is clearly ineligible for the post of Associate Professor at Kannur University.

KER will continue to be in vogue for the age of admission to class I: five years

https://english.mathrubhumi.com/news/kerala/age-6-or-5-govt-s-number-game-for-ist-grade-1.2859568



G.O.(MS) 117/12/G.Edn dated 12.04.2012

Government are pleased to order that existing provisions in KER will continue to be in vogue (ie. the age of admission to class I shall be five years for all the schools of the state) until the Kendriya Vidyalayas controlled by Government of India also switch over to age six as implied in the RTE Act.

National Education Policty 2020

The curricular and pedagogical structure of school education will be reconfigured to make it responsive and relevant to the developmental needs and interests of learners at different stages of their development, corresponding to the age ranges of 3-8, 8-11, 11-14, and 14-18 years, respectively. The curricular and pedagogical structure and the curricular framework for school education will therefore be guided by a 5+3+3+4 design, consisting of the Foundational Stage (in two parts, that is, 3 years of Anganwadi/pre-school + 2 years in primary school in Grades 1-2; both together covering ages 3-8), Preparatory Stage (Grades 3-5, covering ages 8-11), Middle Stage (Grades 6-8, covering ages 11-14), and Secondary Stage (Grades 9-12 in two phases, i.e., 9 and 10 in the first and 11 and 12 in the second, covering ages 14-18).

Viswaroop of Dr. Biswaroop Roy Chowdhary

Internationally renowned medical nutritionist, Dr Biswaroop Roy Chowdhary, PhD in Diabetes, (AIU, Zambia) 

From his website at https://biswaroop.com/ 

(AIU stands for Alliance International University, Zambia. Higher Education Authority of Zambia has deregistered privately owned Alliance International University in Lusaka for failing to maintain minimum standards and offering substandard training services.

Dr. Biswaroop also runs training programs on medical nutrition and emergency life support for Lincoln University College, Malaysia.https://indiabookofrecords.in/profiles/

He runs a bogus university, World Records University, https://worldrecordsuniversity.co.uk/

Although domain name suggests that it is an United Kingdom entity, its copyright line says that "All disputes are subject to Faridabad jurisdiction only", which means its head office is in Faridabad, like many Chit companies in Kerala.

The house (second from left) in Faridabad's Sector 7 where over 130 chit funds had offices until 2013. (https://www.businesstoday.in/magazine/cover-story/story/faridabad-became-hub-for-chit-funds-operating-in-kerala-41065-2013-05-07)

worldrecordsuniversity.co.uk has a menu on a completely different entity, Indo-Vietnam medical Board at https://worldrecordsuniversity.co.uk/about-ivmb/

It mentions "Its advisory board comprises of world renowned doctors who have made a mark in their own field of expertise. Some of them are 

  • Dr John Mcdougall (USA) (may be https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_A._McDougall & https://www.drmcdougall.com/), 
  • Dr Leonard Horowitz (USA) (may be http://drlenhorowitz.com/),  
  • Dr. Giang Phung Tuan (Vietnam) (may be https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/borderless-doctor), 
  • Dr Hoang Hiep (Vietnam) (may be https://www.drhiephoanguniversity.com/), 
  • Dr. Biswaroop Roy Chowdhury (India) (the hero), 
  • Dr B. B. Goel (India) (http://www.lifehappy.org/content/profile/cure_fedration.asp), 
  • Dr Ritu Nanda (India) (https://www.drritunanda.com/about.html)" She is claimed to be "A Trained Clinical Hypnotherapist and Certified Trainer from California Hypnosis Institute (CHI-USA)", but the website of California Hypnosis Institute, https://californiahypnosis.net/ (which is not authorised or accredited) clearly says that the so-called staff (https://californiahypnosis.net/teachers/) and students of this students (https://californiahypnosis.net/members/) are all Indians .
(The peculiarity of all these doctors is that none of them had undergone medical education except the first one and then also they have written books in medicine and some of them practice as quacks. Among these Dr Hoang Hiep and Dr. Biswaroop Roy Chowdhury runs their own universities.)

Further the webpage says "World Records University in collaboration with Indo-Vietnam Medical Board offers Doctorate in Nature Science and Medicine to those who want to pursue curing and reversing life style diseases like diabetes, heart diseases, etc through Whole Food Plant based diet.".

https://worldrecordsuniversity.co.uk/doctorate-in-nature-science-and-medicine/ gives more details about Honorary Doctorate in Nature Science and Medicine.

The website of Asia Book of Records (https://www.asiabookofrecords.com/medical-wing/our-patrons/) also highlights this fictitious board

Dera Sacha Sauda head and rape convict Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh did not complete high school education but never failed to prefix "Dr" since he was granted a PhD by the 'World Record University' in January 2016. However, it has now emerged that the 'university' is not recognized by the UK government where it is headquartered. To top it all, the body has now decided to "withdraw the degree" conferred upon the godman.
