## (SHRI DHARMENDRA PRADHAN)

(a) & (b): Total 22 posts of Vice Chancellors in Central Universities under this Ministry were vacant out of which appointments to 12 posts have already been made by the Visitor. The State/UT-wise, University-wise and Grade-wise vacant posts of teachers in Central Universities are at Annexure.

(c): The incidence and filling up of vacancies in Central Universities is a continuous process. Ministry  of  Education  and  University  Grants  Commission  (UGC)  continuously  monitor  it with Universities. UGC vide its D.O. letter No.F.1-14/2019 (CPP-II) dated 4 th June, 2019 has prepared the Guidelines for Recruitment of Faculty in Universities, Colleges and Institutions Deemed  to  be  Universities  outlining  the  selection  procedure  and  the  time  frame  for recruitment which has been circulated to all Universities to adhere the guidelines.   The UGC vide its letter dated 31st July 2019, 7th August 2019, 5th September 2019 and 22nd October 2019 has again requested the Universities to ensure that vacant positions in University as well as colleges affiliated to Universities are filled at the earliest. However, the onus of filling up the teaching posts lies on Central Universities which are autonomous bodies created under Acts of Parliament.

(d)  &  (e):  As  per  the  clause  13  of  UGC  Regulations  on  Minimum  Qualifications  for Appointment  of  Teachers  and  Other  Academic  Staff  in  Universities  and  Colleges  and Measures for the Maintenance of Standards in Higher Education 2018, the teachers should be appointed on contract basis only when it is absolutely necessary and when the student teacher ratio  does  not  satisfy  the  laid-down  norms.  In  any  case,  the  number  of  such  appointments should not exceed 10% of the total number of faculty positions in a College/University. The qualifications  and  selection  procedure  for  appointing  them  should  be  the  same  as  those applicable  to  a  regularly-appointed  teacher.  The  fixed  emoluments  paid  to  such  contract teachers should not be less than the monthly gross salary of a regularly appointed Assistant Professor.  Such  appointments  should  not  be  made  initially  for  more  than  one  academic session, and the performance of any such entrant teacher should be reviewed for academic performance  before  reappointing  him/her  on  contract  basis  for  another  session.  Such appointments  on  contract  basis  may  also  be  resorted  to  when  absolutely  necessary  to  fill vacancies arising due to maternity leave, child-care leave, etc.
