The information was shared by Union Minister of State for Education Sukanta Majumdar in response to a written question in the Upper House.
“As on October 31, there are 5,182 vacant teaching posts in central universities. Through the special recruitment drive, more than 7,650 teaching posts have been filled in central universities,” the minister said.
“The occurrence of vacancies and their filling is a continuous process. Vacancies arise due to retirements, resignations and additional requirements due to increased student strength; the timing of filling up the posts lies with the central universities,” he said.
Majumdar said the ministry and the University Grants Commission (UGC) regularly monitored the institutions and central universities were directed to fill the vacancies in a regular mode.
“UGC launches an integrated recruitment portal called Q-Chain in May, 2023 to provide a common platform for listing vacancies/advertisements/jobs in all Central Universities.”
