(c)  to  (e)  The  vacancies  arise  due  to  retirement,  resignation,  promotion  and additional requirement on account of up-gradation / sanctioning of new streams as well as enhancement of students' strength. Filling up of vacancies on regular basis is a  continuous  process  and  efforts  are  made  to  fill  up  the  vacancies  as  per  the provisions  of  the  relevant  recruitment  rules  of  concerned  Institution.  Teachers  are engaged  on  contractual basis for temporary  duration by Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan (KVS) to ensure that the teaching-learning process is not hampered.  To maintain  the  quality  of  education  and  to  cover  up  the  shortfall  in  the  faculty,  the CFHEIs  under  Ministry  of  Education  are  having  the  provision  of  recruiting  / appointing visiting / adjunct faculty, Emeritus Professor, Institute Professor, ad-hoc faculty, Guest Faculty, Contract Faculty and Re-employed Faculty etc. There is no provision  for  making  contractual  /  Ad-hoc  teachers  permanent  as  recruitment  of teachers is made through a transparent participatory process through advertisement, written  exam  and  interview.  The  process  of  filling  up  of  lying  vacant  position  of teachers  /  faculties  have  been  advertised  by  the  respective  CFHEI  under  mission mode recruitment.
