The position of Head of Department (HoD) or Associate Professor in universities like UPES School of Design can be held without a PhD under certain exceptional cases mentioned below:

Exceptions of UGC Guidelines: UCG guidelines permit those with experience in the relevant field and having given so much to the discipline to also become faculty as it is not mandatory for them to have a PhD. This holds more ground in professional or design disciplines, where experience is more precious than qualification.

A legacy appointment was made before these rules came into effect-based requirement for the Ph.D. stipulated by the UGC effective July 2023.

Qualification Equivalence for Design Disciplines: In several creative and applied sectors such as design, institutions will award qualifications such as a master's and a wealth of professional experience the place a candidate may hold, having undergone evaluation on eligibility for such reference standings.

Institution Autonomy: UPES being a private university under Indian laws, enjoys certain autonomy with regard to recruitment. The university is expected to follow UGC norms but is very flexible in recruiting a high-profile industry professional as faculty, which is what design education normally relies on.

If you seek clarification on certain cases, UPES is available for contact or you could look up faculty recruitment policies and profiles to understand what guidelines are invoked during the recruitment of faculty of the School of Design.
