MINISTER OF EDUCATION
(Shri Ramesh Pokhriyal ‘Nishank’)

(a) to (d) University of Delhi has informed that approximately 56 adhoc teachers have been appointed in Academic Year 2020-2021 in the departments of the University of Delhi. The College-wise and year-wise details of the appointed adhoc teachers are enclosed at Annex-I.

The filling up the vacancies is an ongoing and continuous process. The vacancies arise due to retirements, resignations, deputations, deaths, expansion and opening of new institutions. The onus of filling up of the posts lies on the University, being an autonomous body created under an Act of Parliament. As per UGC regulations, all the sanctioned / approved posts in the university system are to be filled up on an urgent basis. University Grants Commission as well as the Ministry is continuously monitoring the process.

The University advertised a total 857 permanent faculty posts of Professor, Associate Professor and Assistant Professor in July 2019. The appointments in Colleges are made by the Governing Bodies of the Colleges in terms of the laid down procedure. The University has informed that it is making every possible effort to ensure that all the vacant faculty positions are filled up in a time bound manner. Some adhoc appointments are necessitated to continue the teaching learning process till the permanent faculty is in place.
