To become a professor you must have an experience of around 8 years working as an Associate Professor, publish the research papers from the information generated. Writing review articles, book chapters and books makes the makes the person eligible for higher position.

You can supervise the research projects funded by funding agencies, preparation of reports and publication of the findings in the journals of international repute. Conferences, Symposium, workshops and training programs are also very important to get promoted as a professor.
