I am Aishwarya Satapathy I have completed M.phil in population studies Can I eligible for population studies teacher in your college

Hello Aishwarya! To decide whether you are qualified to teach Population Studies at Ekamra College in Bhubaneswar, certain factors must be considered based on general eligibility standards and Indian college norms. Here is a breakdown:

1. Educational Qualification:

• With an M.Phil. in Population Studies, you are qualified to teach at several Indian colleges. However, for permanent teaching posts at universities and some colleges, a Ph.D. is frequently recommended or needed, particularly for senior-level positions.

2. NET (National Eligibility Test):

• Most teaching posts in India require candidates to pass the UGC (University Grants Commission) NET test in the applicable topic (e.g., Population Studies or Sociology). If you have not passed the NET, you may still be eligible for temporary or guest faculty employment, but obtaining a permanent position may require it.

3. Eligibility for Ekamra College:

• Being connected with Utkal University, Ekamra College is likely to follow UGC or affiliating university criteria. If the college has a Population Studies or related department, you can look at their recruiting notices or contact them directly for further information on the qualifying requirements for teaching positions in this discipline.
• For guest professor posts, an M.Phil. may be sufficient, coupled with any relevant teaching or research experience.

4. Other Factors

• Many universities may also look for applicants with prior teaching or research experience, so if you have published research papers, given presentations, or worked in the field, you may be more qualified.
• Specialised Courses: If your M.Phil. involves specialised research in Population Studies or related subjects, this may be advantageous, particularly for a teaching position.

I hope this is helpful!
