NIT-T begins recruitment drive to fill 177 posts

As the recruitment drive for permanent teaching faculty begins at National Institutes of Technology (NITs) across the country after a gap of nine years, NIT Trichy is eyeing qualified candidates from abroad as well as elite institutions within the country.
Following approval of new recruitment rules by the NIT council in May this year, all the 31 institutes across the country have been on a faculty recruitment drive. NIT Trichy on Wednesday called for suitable candidates to fill the 177 posts that include assistant professors, associate professors and professors across 18 departments. However, sources clarified that this didn't mean there was a faculty shortage in the institute as there were enough teachers hired on temporary basis.
NIT Trichy being among the top NITs, the recruitment drive will give an opportunity for many qualified candidates from here to return home as the recruitment is happening after almost a decade. "We are expecting candidates from outside India and also from IITs," saids director of NIT Trichy Mini Shaji Thomas. "This is a great opportunity for qualified candidates who have been waiting for the past 8-9 years to come back to Trichy," she said.
While openings were only for Indian nationals, she said that it would be a good opportunity for many 'inspire faculty' members from Tamil Nadu working in other parts of the country as well. While there was no recruitment from 2008 for various reasons, the existing faculty didn't get promotions after 2012.
