Sources in the ministry say that IGNOU’s ordinance for CAS doesn’t have its consent due to several reasons, prominent among them is the absence of a regular vice-chancellor for the past three years. It feels that transparency and fairness in promotion can be compromised.

The ministry sent a fax before IGNOU’s board meeting on October 12, saying “The proposed new ordinance on career advancement scheme for teaching and academics has so far not been finalised, approved, and notified by the IGNOU. A proposal may not be taken at this stage.”
