DU to colleges: As of right away, fill all authorised assistant professor positions.

Delhi University has instructed all colleges and departments to fill vacant assistant professor positions "immediately," regardless of any variations in classroom sizes, because of a recent university notification.

Earlier this month, the DU released a notification on classroom sizes in the university and its colleges and fixed them at 60 students for lectures, 30 for tutorials, and 25 for practicals at the undergraduate level. This was met by criticism from teachers with concerns over the quality of teaching-learning and also fears that this might cut down the need for more teachers.

An order issued by the assistant registrar (colleges) has directed all colleges to take steps to fill all their vacant assistant professor posts as per their sanctioned strength with immediate effect.

"It is to be ensured that all the sanctioned posts be filled up on a substantive basis as per the reservation roster approved by the university, irrespective of variation, if any, in classroom size, tutorials, practicals, etc., and under no circumstances shall the teaching post in any subject or discipline remain unfilled to be filled up subsequently for any reason whatsoever in this behalf," reads an order issued by the assistant registrar.
