…………

(a) & (b) : At present thirty one (31) National Institutes of Technology (NITs) are functioning in the country. The location-wise details of NITs and the status of teachers-students ratio in these NITs are at Annexure - I .  The  category-wise  details  of  vacancies  in  these  Institutes  are  at Annexure -  II .  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. These Institutions are engaging contract, adjunct and visiting faculties as well as using the online mode of teaching to overcome these shortages. To make the teaching profession  more  attractive,  the  faculties  are  encouraged  to  undertake  consultancy  and  are given  start-up  financial  support.  The  Institutes  have  been  allowed  to  engage  Lecturers  on contract basis with M.Tech. qualification to make up for shortages. These contract Lecturers are  expected  to  complete  their  Ph.D.  and  then  join  as  regular  faculty  after  following  due selection procedures.

(c): A  total  number  of  24  faculties  are  on  deputation  \  lien  to  other  Centrally  Funded Technical  Institutions  (CFTIs).  Majority  of  them  have  gone  to  other  Institutions  on  higher positions. The Government  has  allowed mobility of staff, working under the Central Government  or  Central  Autonomous  Bodies,  to  join  the  newly  set-up  Central  Educational Institutes  on  a  long  term  deputation  basis  to  utilize  their  expertise  in  setting  up  of  new Institutions for their effective functioning and growth to bring them at par with the existing NITs.

(d): No  Madam.  NITs  are  autonomous  Institutions,  which  are  governed  by  the  National Institutes of Technology, Science Education and Research Act, 2007 and First Statutes. The Chairperson, Board of Governors and the Director of the Institute are appointed by the Hon'ble Visitor [The President of India]. For rest of the employees, the competent disciplinary authority lies within the Institute. The complaints / grievances received from various sources are dealt by the  Institute  in  accordance  with  provisions  under  NITSER  Act,  2007,  First  Statutes  and instructions / guidelines issued by the government of India from time to time.
