The Case of Missing Mentors





As reported by DNA ( 10 May,2012 ), following are the findings of The Standing Committee on Human Resource Development – Government of India :


Ø  % age of Faculty positions lying vacant in

          *   24 Central Universities ..........................  35  %

          *   39 Central Universities …………………………….  39  %

>  %  age of Professor level vacancies
                         [ in 16 Central Universities  ]…………………………… 55  %

Ø  %  age of Faculty positions lying vacant
                  In 77 State Universities………………………………………50+ %

But why are faculty positions lying vacant ?

Here are ( educated ? ) guesses of the Committee :

Ø  Young students were not attracted towards teaching profession

Ø  Recruitment process was a prolonged one

Difficult to digest when India’s colleges are churning out some 3.5 Million graduates every year

Did it occur to the Committee that may be these graduates are simply “ Not Employable “ ?

Proof :

When AMCAT ( Aspiring Minds Computer Adaptive Test ) was conducted in 20 colleges of Mumbai University, only 1 % of the final year students appearing for the test ( 50 out of 5,000 ) were found “ employable “ !

We are in a vicious circle !
