Assistant professor candidates gathered at Patna's Lok Bhawan demanding that the state government expedite recruitment and stop delaying their career prospects.
Earlier this week, a large group of assistant‑professor aspirants assembled outside Lok Bhawan in Patna, Bihar, to press the state government for concrete steps in the recruitment process. The demonstrators, many of whom have cleared preliminary exams, carried placards and chanted slogans calling for swift action.
The protesters argued that while the government has repeatedly offered assurances at Lok Bhawan, no substantive measures have been taken to fill the vacant teaching posts. They warned that continued delays jeopardise their professional futures and the quality of higher‑education institutions in the state.
Organisers emphasized that the candidates are not seeking special treatment but merely the implementation of existing promises. They urged the administration to initiate transparent selection procedures without further postponement, stressing that the youth’s career prospects should not be treated as a bargaining chip.
State officials have not yet issued an official response, but the march underscores growing frustration among qualified candidates awaiting appointment to assistant‑professor positions across Bihar’s colleges and universities.
