As per a statement issued by the MDU administration on Friday, this marks the highest number of faculty promotions processed in a single phase by the university till date.

Highlighting the university’s commitment to streamlining the promotion process while heading a meeting with the members of the committee and senior university officials, MDU Vice-Chancellor Prof Rajbir Singh said a Standard Operating Procedure will be drafted to institutionalise the process.

“This would facilitate the evaluation of promotion cases twice a year, specifically by June 30 and December 31 with a structured timeline, ensuring the completion of evaluations within three months of submission of the case by the teacher,” he added.
