In the light of training period mentioned against each of the appellant it is revealed that date of promotion to the post of Lecturer (Senior Scale) is in order. 4. At this stage, learned counsel for the appellant submitted that appellants have been drafted to acquire M.Tech qualification. Once they have completed M.Tech course of eight weeks that should be treated as qualification for the purpose of assigning Lecturer (Senior Scale). On the other hand, Para 8.2 of AICTE notification on revision of pay-scale and associated terms and conditions of service of teachers, librarians and physical education personnel for diploma level technical institution reads as under:- “A lecturer will be eligible for placement as Lecturer (Senior Scale), through a process of selection if he/she has: (i) Completed 6 years of service after regular appointment as a Lecturer, with relaxation of 2 years for those with Ph.D. and one year for those with M.Phil/M.E./M.Tech. (ii) Participated in one orientation course/induction training and one refresher course or industrial training of aggregate duration of 8 weeks, or has undertaken other appropriate continuing education or training programmes of comparable quality and duration as may be specified or approved by AICTE. (ii) Participated in one orientation course/induction training and one refresher course or industrial training of aggregate duration of 8 weeks, or has undertaken other appropriate continuing education or training programmes of comparable quality and duration as may be specified or approved by AICTE. Those with Ph.D. degree would be exempted from these course/training requirements.” 5. In the light of the aforesaid clauses there is no criteria that if a lecturer who has been drafted to acquire M.Phil/ME/M.Tech course and as and when he or she completed eight weeks of M.Phil/ME/M.Tech course the same is required to be taken into consideration for the purpose of assigning Lecturer (Senior Scale). Therefore, the appellants have not made out a case so as to prepone their assignment of date of Lecturer (Senior Scale) as claimed by them. 6. Accordingly, the present LPA No. 1080 of 2018 stands dismissed.
