Vacancies galore in IITs, IIMs, IISc & NITs
December 3rd, 2009
Following is from a PTI report.
… the Lok Sabha was told today.
The vacancy has arisen due to retirement and resignations in these top institutes, HRD Minister Kapil Sibal said in a written reply.
Giving details of the vacancies, he said the faculty position in the IITs stands at 2,983 against the sanctioned strength of 4,267. Similarly, there are 388 faculty members against the sanctioned strength of 468 in the IIMs.
The situation is no different in National Institutes of Technology (NITs) where the faculty position stands at 2603 against the sanctioned strength of 3747.
The scenario is critical in Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore where there are only 210 faculty members while the sanctioned strength is 478.

Kapil Sibal was on Burkha Dutt’s show during the IIT faculty strike and iirc, he claimed that the IITs are so good that there is virtually no attrition. Once a lawyer, always a lier?

Even old established IITs operate at max 75-80% of the sanctioned strength. For example against a sanction strength of 429 IIT Kanpur is now operating with about 330. Out of current strength as many of 20% may claim leave. So in reality IIT Kanpur now has 270 odd faculty to run all academic programs across all dept. The figures are before capacity enhancement. So student to faculty ratio has increased substantially.

This shortage will continue till AICTE revises its faculty elligibility criteria. I simply cant understand as to why we cant modify it by co-opting talented professionals from industries,department
