Assistant prof suspended for submitting fake experience certificate
Koppal: The govt has suspended Gyaneshwari GR, an assistant professor in the computer science department at Government Engineering College, Gangavathi, following allegations that she secured her position after submitting fake experience certifcate.
The suspension, announced on Thursday, will remain in effect pending a departmental inquiry.
As per the eligibility criteria for the post of assistant professor, candidates must possess a PhD, a postgraduate degree in the relevant field, and three years of teaching experience. Alternatively, those without a PhD must hold a postgraduate degree, and have five years of teaching experience and are required to obtain a PhD within seven years of appointment.
Gyaneshwari was appointed under the second category and was expected to complete her PhD within seven years. However, following a complaint that raised doubts over the authenticity of the five-year teaching experience certificate she submitted, an investigation was conducted and it was found that she misled the govt by providing false information.
Following these findings, Roopa P, under secretary to the govt, higher education department (technical education), issued the suspension order.
