North-Eastern India is a less developed part of India. Thus, development and growth of the universities are very important for this region. All the central universities are more or less following the UGC Guidelines in framing the Performance Appraisal System for their faculty members. But analytical study has indicated certain differences in the Appraisal System. To conduct this study both Primary and secondary data is collected from the different stakeholders of these central universities. UGC from time to time is setting different performance appraisal systems and mechanism. These universities have their own geographical, demographical, political, cultural issues while assessing the performance of the faculty members. Satisfaction of the faculty members plays very important role in this area. Different universities do unnecessary delay in appraising the performance of the faculty members thus giving birth to dissatisfied faculty members. UGC's regulations are honoured in this universities.
