Dear Sir/Mam,
I am working as an Associate Professor in an educational institution since 07 years. My organisation' PhD policy is briefed below.
1. Complete 3 years of service.
2. Only Part-time PhD permission shall be granted with no finacial or any other benefits.
I joined the organisation in 2016 and then I applied for NOC to pursue PhD in 2020. I was granted NOC in 2020 and there wasn't any mention of bond in the NOC.
I started my PhD in 2020 and it is currently running.
Now, in 2023 my organisation is asking me to execute a bond that I must render a service of 5 years after completing my PhD with the organisation. My PhD is expected to complete in 2025 and if I go with their bond I have to spend another 5 years i.e. till 2030 with this organisation.
I have not taken any type of benefits (monetary and non monetary) from the organisation for pursuing PhD, then why is this bond. Is it legal and valid?
Do I have the right to refuse it?
