dear friend,

For private engineering college , you must holds M-TECH degree .

For govt college , you must be holds M-TECH degree with NET qualify for full time course.

or if you have PHD degree then you are eligible for full time course.

This is the UGC rule b-tech or MCA dgree holder are not eligible for professor in computer science.

all the best

Hi.

Computer Science is a research oriented subject. Its basically languages that we need to learn to communicate with the computer and its internal circuits.
Now if one aspires to hold a post of Professor in Computer Science in any good university or college, then he/she must satisfy certain norms which are put forward as eligibility criteria by UGC(University Grants Commission)+AICTE(All India Council of Technical Education).

These are stated as follows:

1. Masters degree with a minimum 55% aggregate in the appropriate branch of Engineering and Technology.

2. NET (National eligibility Test) score is also required and considered for such Masters Programs.

3. You experience, confidence and past records too play a good role in determining the strength of your candidature for the professor post in any college.

Now though UGC and AICTE have given such list, but most of the private colleges these days recruit on their own rules and regulations.
Some colleges even recruit B.Tech freshers as assistant professors.

So it all depends on the knowledge you have, how well you interact with students and the other faculties.
Whats your history as a teacher, or how you groom yourself in the professor post.

Yeah NET is a good reflector of your knowledge and it measures you in terms of your lecturer ship.

If you satisfy most of these norms, or if not but still you have good confidence on the knowledge that you hold about your subject then you can easily apply to good private universities and colleges and look for an opening.

All the best.
