The idea behind the launch of the scheme is to provide an opportunity to interested and shortlisted PhD scholars, who wish to make best use of their time after submission of their thesis, says BHU.
“Engaging PhD students in teaching will help them acquire and demonstrate skills in leadership, people management and project management, which may otherwise be difficult to obtain. Students who have submitted or are expected to submit thesis (within 6 years of the date of admission, not the registration date) will be eligible to apply for the scheme,” the university said in an official notice.
The decision to introduce the scheme was taken in the governing body in a meeting of Institution of Eminence, BHU, chaired by Vice-chancellor Prof Sudhir K Jain.
