Based on the teachers self-assessment, API scores are proposed for (a) teaching related activities; domain knowledge; (b) participation in examination and evaluation; and (c)
contribution to innovative teaching, new courses etc. The minimum API score required by teachers from this category is different for different levels of promotion. The self-
assessment score should be based on objectively verifiable records. It shall be finalized by the screening cum evaluation / selection committee. Universities may detail the
activities, in case institutional specificities require, adjust the weightages without changing the minimum total API scores required under this category.

Note:

1. Direct Teaching 16/14/14 hours per week include the Lectures/Tutorials/Practicals /Project Supervision/Field Work. .
2. University may prescribe minimum cut-off, say 75%, below which no scores may be assigned in these sub-categories.
3. In consonance with established academic and teaching traditions, and with a view to reinforcing a student-centric and caring approach the teachers are encouraged to work
with students, beyond the structure of classroom teaching. Indicatively, this could entail mentoring, guiding and counseling students. In particular teachers would be the best
placed to identify and address the needs of students who may be differently abled, or require assistance to improve their academic performance, or to overcome a disadvantage.
There are no prescribed hours for such efforts, measured either in weeks or months, or in the context and calculation of the API scores, these are nevertheless important and
significant activities that could be carried out by teachers.
