Down-gradation/Up-gradation of approved project post

If an investigator wants to downgrade or upgrade a post or convert it to an equivalent or lower pay scale post, the justification for the same needs should be sent to the concerned funding agency and their approval to downgrade or upgrade the existing post should be sought and forwarded to Research Section for necessary action along with necessary financial approvals (extra grant for salary). The downgraded or upgraded post will be treated as fresh contract appointment as per procedures of the Research Section.
