received a reply that claimed that the University has called for application
for filling the different teaching post in the year but till date there has
been no recruitment of new teachers.

posts at Group A level as indicated hereunder: GROUP A -Registrar – 1, Finance
Officer – 1,Librarian-1, University Engineer- 1, Director and others.

has floated the advertisement. But for the vacancies of non- teaching Group A
posts, the matter is under process.
As for the
vacancies at Group B, C and D, the University cannot take any action to fill
the vacancies due to the directive received from UGC not to fill up any vacant
post since the present ratio between the teaching and non- teaching in the
University is higher than the ratio prescribed by the UGC.
