IITD Involves Faculty Members In Talent Hunting Drive
The Indian Catholic
The Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (IITD) has found a unique way to fill up the vacant faculty positions in its institute. For the first time in its history, the institute has involved the existing faculty members in its talent hunt drive for new lecturers.
The existing faculty members, according to sources, have been told by the institute to keep an eye on the young, motivated and talented Persons of Indian Origin (PIO) and Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) teaching abroad at the international seminars and conferences, and persuade them to apply for jobs in IITD. Says Mr BN Jain, deputy director (faculty), IIT-Delhi, 'Recruiting faculty has always been a challenge as we don't compromise on teaching.
Now, the responsibility lies with the faculty members to motivate talent both from the country and abroad."The institute currently has 425 faculty members on its roll and requires 100 more teachers for conducting advanced research work on a regular basis in all its departments. However, over the next three years the institute's requirement of faculty would touch six times when it starts implementing 27 quota reservation.
