NET and SET Examinations, is it enough to pass them?

As the NET and SET examinations are approaching most of the budding examinees are trying their various study approaches to pass this highly esteemed examination. Most of the times it is seen that months and years of hard work and some times sheer luck in the cut off merit list, one can achieve a NET and SET examination certificate.
A recent argument on the permission to consider Ph.D. as equivalent to the NET qualified had been debated and disagreed by many well known educationists. They evaluated that  Ph.D. cannot assess a person's ability to teach students.
Although NET and SET examinations are said to be most useful for the budding college teachers to get a good job or an opportunity of research fellowship in University in their respective streams, there should also be an aim of updating and acknowledging a teachers knowledge regularly. This will help the teachers to be updated on the current issues in their stream but also to teach the tech savvy students in a better way.
It is constantly observed that the teachers are thorough with theoretical knowledge but do not pay attention to the practical skills.  This has made teachers to lag behind the fast changing technologies and technologically able students.
It is difficult to assess and prepare all  the teachers for such a challenge but such a skill based scheme should be proposed which will obviously be the first step in improving teaching in  higher education standards in the country!!!
