(d) Occurring of vacancies and filling thereof is a continuous process. The vacancies arise due to  retirement,  resignation and additional requirements on account of enhanced students' strength. The Institutions are adopting various measures to address faculty shortages in order to ensure that studies of students are not affected which inter-alia, includes engaging research scholars, contract, re-employed,  adjunct  and  visiting  faculty.  Ministry  of  Education  has  requested  all  the  Central Higher Educational Institutions to fill up the vacancies in a Mission Mode within a period of one year starting from 5 th September, 2021.
