Article about shortage of teachers seats
Answers
Answer:
The country’s premier engineering colleges, the Indian Institutes Technology (IITs) are facing a severe faculty shortage across the 23 campuses. With the implementation of Economically Weaker Section (EWS) quota, the intake in IITs has also gone up, leading to creating of more vacant posts for teachers.
According to data provided by the Union Human Resource Development (HRD) Ministry to Parliament, there are 3,709 faculty positions lying vacant against the sanctioned 9,718 posts. The case is worse at IIT Dhanbad, Kanpur and Kharagpur where as many as 477, 305 and 481 seats are lying vacant, respectively
IITs have to maintain a student-teacher ratio of 1:10. With an increase in the number of students due to newly introduced Economically Weaker Section (EWS) quota, the number of students is expected to rise further and hence more posts for teachers will be created.
“The IITs have implemented 4 per cent reservation for EWS quota and increased around 500 seats across campuses. The number will increase to 10 per cent, implying the IITs with 1000 seats will offer 1250 seats from this academic year,” said M Balakrishnan, deputy director, IIT-Delhi. This will require at least 25 new faculty posts per older IITs (which have 1000 or above seats).
Additionally, IITs have supernumerary seats — additional seats than total strength — dedicated to female students to increase diversity across campuses, which will further need new faculty members.
