Chaddha Commission accepts and recommended some good things for the betterment of the teaching profession and higher education system, which are as follows:
• A uniform designation pattern for whole teaching community of higher education in India.
• Benefit of increments for Ph.D. M.Phil. etc. at entry level and on acquiring such degree for in service teachers after implementation of this report.
• Creation of post of Senior Professor, Professor of Eminence .

The teaching community of the country was expecting much more not only because of their sufferings of past many decades but because of fast changing global scenario, recommendations and acceptance of the sixth pay commission and competence of designated members of the Chaddha Commission. Their many lacunae and unjust recommendations in PRC 2008, some of which are as under:

• In different all India Services (IAS, IPS, IFS, etc), the officers get promotions at the interval of 4, 9, 13 and 16 years of service (and some more promotions above these scales). These promotions are given to them on basis of counting period from the date of entry in the service. These promotion levels considered (by past UGC PRCs) a little or more equivalent to Lecturer/Assistant Professor, Lecturer/Assistant Professor (Senior Scale), Lecturer/Assistant Professor (Selection Grade)/ Associate Professor, and Professor; but here:
(i) The time period for the promotions is not counted from the date of entry in service and
(ii) The time period for promotion is more, in comparison to various All India Services.

o From Lecturer to Lecturer (Senior Scale) 4yrs with Ph.D.(5 yrs to M.Phil and 7 yrs to non Ph. D.);
o From Lecturer(Senior Scale) to Lecturer (Selection Grade)/ Associate Professor, 5yrs with Ph.D.(6yrs to M.Phil and 8 yrs to non Ph. D.); and
o From Associate Professor to Professor 8yrs with Ph.D

(iii) Officers of All India Services are less educated (graduation is required education level), whereas in higher education PG plus NET or SET / MPhil/Ph,D. is minimum qualification. So, when the teachers in higher education are more educated, working most important job of nation building than why should they get less salary, discrimination in promotion and poor working conditions.

• In the recommendations of the Sixth Pay Commission all the scales are categorized in only in four Pay Bands. Many of the pay scales has been merged and are placed at one place and given the same grade pay. But in the case of teachers of higher education reverse phenomenon is recommended. The teachers working as Lecturer/Assistant Professor (Selection Grade), Associate Professor, Vice Principal and Principal (UG College) were working in 12000-18300 scale, has been divided and placed in Pay band 3 and 4. The teachers working in all these scales should have been placed in Pay Band 4, and if any difference was to be created than it should have been only in the form of higher grade pay and additional increments.

• Sixth Pay Commission recommendations ensure to give minimum three promotions to all the employees. The officers of All India Services usually get 5 to 6 promotions. But the Chaddha Commission explicitly downgraded university and college teachers by the recommendations which denied them promotion till professor’s grade,and he does not ensure to give even third promotion. The Chaddha Commission should have recommended to ensure the promotions of the teachers up to the level of professors. The teacher who performs better in teaching or in research must be given early promotion, but no teacher should be debarred to get promotion. The posts of Senior Professor, Professor of Eminence, Pro Vice Chancellor and Vice Chancellor should be the only selection posts.

• The Chaddha Commission recommended to sanction the post of Professor in PG departments of colleges. In this regard it is to submit that

(i) There must not be requirement of sanction of post for CAS candidates.
(ii) The post may be sanctioned for only open posts and for fresh appointments.
(iii) There shall be no restriction on number of posts; every eligible teacher must be given promotion on completion of required period.
(iv) There shall be no discrimination between a UG or PG College, with regard to the post of professor because:
o An individual teacher has no role in having UG or PG status of department. Every body in higher education know that UG or PG level of the department depends upon administration (including Govt.), Principal, need of the place and many other factors which are not under control of an individual teacher)
o A senior teacher (i.e. Reader / Professor) required not only to teach PG but to UG also.

• Similar to the post of Senior Professor thre should have been a post of Senior Principals scale for those principals who have already completed eight to 10 years of service.

• The Chaddha Commission recommendations disappointed by leaving the issue of recruitment of Lecturer at entry level. It is quite satisfactory that a Lecturer would get handsome initial salary with other allowances. But, how the youngsters would get entry when in appointment process at colleges and university is not impartial and provides chances of favoritism to their own candidates and outsiders faces negativism at departmental or local or regional level. In many states PSCs recruit Lecturers for Government colleges, which comparatively better than recruitment many universities. So, for an impartial and better recruitment process, it is felt that there must be an All India recruitment process through UPSC. There must be a centralized recruitment process for all central and state universities and colleges (receiving grants from UGC or Central/state governments); according to the merit candidates could be given priority of their choices.

• There were many anomalies after the implementation of UGC PRC 1996. Chaddha Commission has considered but still there are some grievances:
(i) Recommendations of the PRC 1996 were implemented from 1.1.96. The CAS was the part and parcel of the recommendations but the carrier advancement scheme was implanted from an arbitrary and unreasoned date of 27.07.98. Due to this reason many senior faculty members who were already eligible for promotion on or before 01.01.1996, or became eligible between the period from dt. 1.196 to 27. 07.98, as per UGC criteria 2008, could not get the promotion earlier than 27.07.1998 without any logical reason. This way the highest qualified community was befooled by the patron of highest education i.e. University Grants Commission.
(ii) Posts of Professor were recommended for colleges also but it was not done.
(iii) The arrears of the teachers were not given in time and most of the amount was deposited in the PF and restrictions were laid down to ban the withdrawal for 5 yrs. Etc.
