‘Over 40% of teaching posts in IITs are vacant’

The Hindu  

Over 40% of teaching posts in all 23 Indian Institutes of Technology are vacant, according to data provided by the Ministry of Education in the Lok Sabha to a question raised by Congress member Shashi Tharoor. According to the data, while 6,511 teaching faculty are working in the IITs, 4,370 posts are vacant. IIT Bombay had the poorest representation with just 3.8% of its 693 faculty members from reserved categories. The Ministry, in its reply, pointed to the ongoing special recruitment drive under “mission mode” from September 2021 to September 2022 to fill the vacancies under the reserved categories. Rajesh Paswan, convener of the Delhi-based Joint Forum for Academic and Social Justice, an organisation fighting for the implementation of reservation policies in higher education institutions, said the present numbers on faculty from reserved categories itself were misleading.
