* If a paper presented in Conference/Seminar is published in the form of Proceedings, the points would accrue for the publication (III(a)) and not under presentation 

(III(e)(ii)). 

N.B. The API for joint research publications/joint book/chapter publications will have to be calculated in the following manner: Of the total accrued score for all 

categories of publications 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.
