## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT (DR. MAHENDRA NATH PANDEY)

- (a) : As on date, 23 Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) are functioning in the country.
- (b)  to  (e):  IITs  follow  the  reservation  policy  as  laid  down  in  the  Department  of Personnel  &  Training  (DOP&T)'s  orders  dated  23.06.1975,  13.05.1994  and  Order dated 09.06.2008 of this Ministry. These orders stipulate reservation in recruitment  to  the  posts  of  Assistant  Professors  only  in  Science  and  Technology subjects.  IITs  make  efforts  to  fill  all  the  reserved  posts  by  conducting  special recruitment  drive  through  advertisement.  However,  due  to  non-availability  of suitable candidates from these categories, some posts remain vacant.   As regards non-faculty posts in IITs, details in respect of 17 IITs are annexed.
