6. The learned Single Judge referred to the UGC Regulations 2010 which stipulated the minimum qualification for appointment to various teaching and academic positions. Under Clause 4.3.0 of the UGC Regulations 2010, the minimum qualification for the post of Associate Professor included inter alia "a minimum score as stipulated in the Academic Performance Indicator (API) based Performance Based Appraisal System (PBAS), set out in this Regulation in Appendix III". It was evident from the Appendix-III that for the post of Associate Professor, the minimum API score to be possessed by a candidate was 300 points from Category-III of APIs.
13. As noted by the learned Single Judge, Clause 4.3.0 of the UGC Regulations, 2010, mandated the candidate possessing the minimum API score based on the Performance Based Appraisal System (PBAS). Therefore, it is futile for the Appellant to contend that the above norm of possessing the minimum API score was not applicable since the Appellant had applied pursuant to the initial advertisement dated 26th February, 2014. The fact remains that the Appellant applied again pursuant to the last advertisement issued in 2017 and by this time, it was clear that the UGC norms would apply for selection to the post in question.
