It is an evident fact that his 'quality' lectures never fetched any student. What right he has got to talk about quality when he gets no students to teach.

As Prof Abi said the advt for faculty position states that women and SC/ST candidates are encouraged to apply. Look at my case, i applied, What happens?

IITs have been circumventing this by recruting only at the assistant professor level and not at the lecturer level. This has led to unfair promotions<br /><br />unfairpromotionsatiits.blogspot.com<br /><br />This is something that should be immediately implemented.

All NITs have 22.5% reservations at the assistant professor level for SC/ST. Additionally, there is OBC reservations also.<br />There are no reservations for associate or professor level, though.<br /><br /> IITs/IISc have not implemented it for their faculty. Faculty in IIT/IISc should only be recruited based on caste (SC/ST/OBC) and there should be at least 50% reservation for these categories. If these institutes can do it at the student level, why can't it be done at the faculty level. In fact, for the next ten years, they should not recruit any one from the open category at all till the imbalance is corrected.Ahmednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9818962.post-38821826742616419382010-02-03T10:17:40.169+05:302010-02-03T10:17:40.169+05:30This is anon # 1 again:

(...This is anon # 1 again:<br /><br />I think the points are<br /><br />(1) Whether selection of faculty members at the asso. prof. and prof. level should have reservation is a complex issue. One can think in both ways.<br /><br />(2) Generally speaking, Indian institutes/universities have (at least in science and engineering) very few faculty members who came thru' the reserved category. <br />This is not a 'JNU' problem (as the OUTLOOK articles suggested) rather an issue which is relevant to all Indian institutes/universities.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9818962.post-15856040993920428292010-02-03T09:02:58.716+05:302010-02-03T09:02:58.716+05:30@Anon (#1 and #2): I think I can count a handful o...@Anon (#1 and #2): I think I can count a handful of associate and full professors -- but there may be others in reserved category that I may not know about. <br /><br />I know this is not a satisfactory answer. Yet another reason why disclosure of this sort of information (in statistical terms that don't violate anyone's right to privacy) should be made mandatory -- preferably on each institution's website.<br /><br />As for whether there's reservation at the recruitment stage, here's what what <a href="http://www.iisc.ernet.in/content_facultyinfohowtoapply.html" rel="nofollow">the recruitment ad</a> says: "Women candidates and applicants belonging to the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes are especially encouraged to apply."Abihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06790560045313883673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9818962.post-31193567830784478282010-02-03T08:04:14.223+05:302010-02-03T08:04:14.223+05:30Anon1, yes, it could be a good starting point.
