What is SLET or
U-SET?
It stands for State Level Eligibility Test (SLET) or
Uttarakhand State Eligibility Test (USET). It is state level test and can be
conceived equivalent to the National Eligibility Test (NET). However the NET is
valid in all India for JRF/Lectureship
but SLET is valid for that state only.
After the formation of the state of Uttarakhand it will be
first time SLET-2012 would be organized in the state possibly in the month of
July, 2012 for the eligibility of Lectureship in the degree colleges of
Uttarakhand. Kumaun University,
Nainital is going to be the nodal agency for conducting the first USET of
Uttarakhand.

details of the U-SET
Government is in view that there is dearth of NET qualified
candidates in the state of Uttarakhand. So this may one of the reasons for not
filling up the vacant post of professors, assistant professors, associate
professors in colleges of Uttarakhand.
Well, we don’t know how they prepare such kinds of reports
and views?
There are peoples known to us who have cleared the NET in
various subjects and are forced to take up jobs in schools. Further there are
eligible candidates who are already teaching in colleges on the contract basis.
So there logic seems less valid on ground level. Generally government policies
looks like to be made for the vested interests of the few.
Well pardon me if that statement gone bit harsh and one
sided.
One reason might be that they want to present a slight
easier pattern so that more candidates become available. But
government policies are most often increase eligible candidates without looking
properly the employment aspect. The Same thing is happening with the
B.Ed. course. See how peoples are now fighting it out at the issue of Vishist
BTC.
Why not first ensure the jobs for those NET passed and then
go for the SLET?
In fact if put in the right manner why go for the SLET by
wasting the people’s money and time and just increase the number of candidates
looking for job on that basis. It is also well known that at higher
education level there are less government jobs as compared to the school
education.
Also it seems more frustrating when they talk of
maintaining quality in the education system. Can such duplicity and diluted
standards ensure the quality?
Their contradictory policies and their thought process
go on in AC rooms without much emphasis on the common man’s aspirations, need
and benefit.
