With Chief Minister K. Chandrashekhar Rao deciding in principle that university teachers would be appointed through a recruitment board, the government is busy preparing guidelines and modalities for the same. The announcement of the board is expected shortly.
“The process will be completed soon. The government wants to be cautious not to land this in legal wrangles,” an official says, adding that the necessary amendments would be made to the University Act or bring in a new Act related to recruitments in Telangana universities: “Options will be weighed in.”
The government believes that the recruitment process through an entrance test is a radical move to change the very face of the universities in Telangana that are facing allegations of under-utilising resources, fraud in recruitment and staring at a bleak future unless drastic changes are brought about in the very core of the institutions — teaching.
