State varsities get govt nod to fill posts

The state government has allowed to fill vacant sanctioned posts at various stages of recruitment in state universities, including Kurukshetra University; Maharshi Dayanand University, Rohtak; Dr BR Ambedkar National Law University, Rai; BPS Mahila Mahavidhaalaya, Khanpur Kalan; Ch Devi Lal University, Sirsa; Ch Bansi Lal University, Bhiwani; Maharshi Valmiki Sanskrit University, Kaithal; and Gurugram University.

A letter in this respect was issued by the office of Additional Chief Secretary (Higher Education) to all Vice-Chancellors on Tuesday.

In October, the government had ordered the universities to halt ongoing recruitment processes following complaints of favouritism. Since then, the universities had been awaiting permission to make appointments to fill vacant posts, said sources.

The universities had been allowed to fill the posts as per the Standard Operating Procedure issued on August 6, 2024. The universities will share the details of the posts to be advertised, i.e. name of the post, date of vacancy, date of approval of the government etc.
