More than 70% of teaching positions across Telangana's universities remain unfilled, with recruitment processes stalled, according to Telangana Today.
A staggering 70% of teaching vacancies across universities in Telangana remain unfilled, as recruitment drives have hit a standstill. The figure, reported by Telangana Today, highlights a persistent bottleneck in the state's higher education system.
The prolonged vacancy has strained faculty workloads, leading to longer classes and reduced research output. Students are also feeling the impact, with limited course offerings and increased pressure on existing staff.
Officials say the delay is due to administrative hold‑ups and pending approvals from the state education department. While the government has promised a review of the recruitment process, no concrete timeline has been announced.
The situation has prompted calls from academic bodies for an expedited hiring process to ensure quality education and prevent further deterioration of university standards.
