The interviews to fill up vacant posts were conducted in the years 2012, 2015 and 2016. However, the appointments were kept on hold due to court cases and other reasons. Currently, 40 percent posts are vacant in various departments of the varsity. Lack of faculty would lead to poor grading by NAAC. Hence the authorities have decided to make appointments.
