## ANSWER

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

(a)  to  (d):  Although  there  are  certain  unfilled  faculty  positions  in  the  IITs  and  IIMs,  the teaching programme is supported by research scholars, contract, adjunct and visiting faculty. As such, the teaching process is not adversely affected. The Institute-wise sanctioned strength, actual  strength,  vacancy  position  of  teaching  staff  in  Indian  Institutes  of  Technology  (IITs) and Indian Institute of Management is given in the Annexure.

The  recruitment  of  faculty  is  a  continuous  process  and  the  vacancies  keep  arising  due  to retirement, resignation and additional requirements on account of enhanced students' strength. Besides, recruitment happens only when candidates of required merit and research experience are found. The Institutes have been taking measures to attract quality faculty, which include year-round open  advertisements, invitation through search-cum-selection procedures to alumni/scientists/faculty,  advertisements  in  international  journals,  and  appointment  of  NRIs and PIOs to faculty positions on the same terms as applicable to regular faculty.

Annexure  referred  to  in  part  (a)  to  (d)  of  the  reply  to  the  Lok  Sabha  Un-Starred Question No. 2977 for 20.03.2017 asked by Shri Vinayak Bhaurao Raut,  Prof. Ravindra Vishwanath Gaikwad, Shri Md. Badaruddoza Khan, Dr. Shrikant Eknath Shinde, Shri Shrirang Appa Barne, Shri Anandrao Adsul, Shri Adhalrao Patil Shivajirao, and Dr. Pritam Gopinath Munde regarding Shortage of Faculties in IITs and IIMs.
