Counselling Scheduled for Newly Appointed Principals
The Department of Collegiate Education in Karnataka will conduct counselling for 222 candidates who have been appointed as principals to Government First Grade Colleges. This counselling is expected to take place within a week.
Appointment Details
Appointment orders have been issued for these principals. The initial tenure for these appointments is five years, with a potential extension of another five years based on a performance appraisal conducted by a committee established by the state government.
Returning to Previous Roles
Professors and associate professors who were previously serving in government degree colleges are permitted to return to their original positions after completing their five-year principal tenure.
Restrictions for External Candidates
Individuals appointed from private and aided colleges, universities, or other institutions will not be eligible to continue as professors or associate professors in government degree colleges after completing their five-year principal appointment.
Pension Scheme Implications
Candidates from aided colleges and public universities appointed after April 1, 2006, will be subject to the New Pension Scheme (NPS). They will not be eligible for pension under the Defined Benefit Pension Scheme or the Triple Benefit Scheme.
Financial Considerations
Financial benefits received during their service will be withdrawn for these appointed candidates.
Reporting Requirements
Appointed principals must report to their designated colleges within 15 days of the counselling session and the issuance of placement orders. No allowances will be paid for this reporting.
Consequences of Non-Compliance
Failure to report within the stipulated 15-day period may result in the cancellation of their appointment orders.
