Telangana’s higher education system faces a severe crisis as several universities have no professors and large-scale faculty vacancies. Delays in recruitment and policy issues have affected academic activity, with the government planning to begin hiring in the coming months.

A workshop at SKLTHU Mulugu brought together university leaders to discuss strategies for improving NIRF rankings, focusing on strategic planning, student engagement, self-revenue generation, and Academic Social Responsibility

Rajiv Gandhi University of Knowledge Technologies, Basar, Aurora Higher Education and Research Academy, Malla Reddy Vishwavidyapeeth, MNR University, and Telugu University have also been served show cause notices for not filing anti-ragging compliance for 2024

Academic activities were suspended, classes were boycotted, and administrative offices remained closed throughout the day as part of the protest

Presently, each university and autonomous engineering colleges have their own detention criteria, with credit requirements for promotion ranging from 25 per cent to 50 per cent out of the total credits

This decision was taken based on a report by the Telangana Council of Higher Education, which highlighted the acute shortage of faculty due to retirements

Out of 390 professor positions sanctioned in 11 universities, only 174 were working as of November 30, 2024

Council's recent move to ask State universities to continue services of assistant professors on contract beyond superannuation age has not gone down well with the universities

All the State universities are on the same page. As per the latest details available with the Telangana Council of Higher Education, out of 2,817 teaching posts in the 12 universities in the state, 2,060 posts are vacant in 2024, an increase from 1,977 in 2023.

Despite nearing 10 months into ruling, the government continues to be mum on its promise of regularisation given to the contract teachers in the universities during the assembly elections

Stating that both part-time lecturers and assistant professors (c) were selected through similar procedure via selection committee, the part-time lecturers said they were having full workload per week on par with assistant professors

The contract assistant professors coordination committee that met at Dr. BRAOU wanted the govt to take up regular recruitment of faculty in the universities after regularising their services.

As the earlier VCs demitted their offices on May 21, the government set up search committee for each of 10 universities in the last week of May.
