IIIT introduces rolling ad system for assistant professor recruitment
The Story in Brief
The Indian Institute of Information Technology (IIIT) has changed its teacher recruitment process. Candidates can now apply online throughout the year for assistant professor posts, with no fixed last date, as the institute has introduced a rolling advertisement system.
In the first round, applications have been invited for assistant professor Grade-1 and Grade-2 positions in the departments of Information Technology, Electronics and Communication Engineering, and Applied Sciences. Under the new system, the institute will periodically issue a cutoff date, all applications received by that date will be considered together, factoring in current vacancies, new posts and backlog vacancies. Candidates applying after the cutoff will be included in the next selection round. Evaluation will be based on educational qualifications, experience and research work as of the cutoff date.
PhD holders with strong research and teaching potential will be preferred, according to institute director Prof Mukul S Sutawane. Separately, the Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission (UPPSC) has announced results for 17 assistant professor posts in anatomy and transfusion medicine at state medical colleges.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The rolling advertisement system removes application deadlines, shifting the burden onto candidates to track cutoff dates the institute will announce periodically. The first round targets only three departments, leaving other disciplines for later phases. The director's statement that vacancy numbers are not predetermined upfront means each selection round depends on vacancies current at that cutoff. Separately, UPPSC has filled 17 medical faculty posts after interviews held on 26 and 27 October, indicating parallel recruitment in state institutions.
