activities; (b) domain knowledge; (c) participation in examination and evaluation; (d) contribution to innovative
teaching, new courses etc. The minimum API score required by teachers from this category is 75. The self-
assessment score should be based on objectively verifiable criteria wherever possible and will be finalized by the
screening/selection committee.
Universities will be required to detail the activities and in case institutional specificities require, adjust the
weightages, without changing the minimum total API scores required under this category.

*Wherever relevant to any specific discipline, the API score for paper in refereed journal would be augmented as
follows: (i) indexed journals – by 5 points; (ii) papers with impact factor between 1 and 2 by 10 points; (iii) papers
with impact factor between 2 and 5 by 15 points; (iv) papers with impact factor between 5 and 10 by 25 points.
** If a paper presented in Conference/Seminar is published in the form of Proceedings, the points would accrue

Notes.
1. It is incumbent on the Coordination Committee proposed in these Regulations and the University to prepare
and publicize within six months subject-wise lists of journals, periodicals and publishers under categories IIIA
and B. Till such time, screening/selection committees will assess and verify the categorization and scores of
publications.
2. The API for joint publications will have to be calculated in the following manner: Of the total score for the
relevant category of publication by the concerned teacher, the first/Principal author and the corresponding
author/supervisor/mentor of the teacher would share equally 60% of the total points and the remaining 40%
would be shared equally by all other authors.
