With teaching posts at the University of Mysore continuing to remain vacant, affecting academic activities, the university’s Planning, Monitoring, and Evaluation Board has resolved to take up the issue with the State Government as more posts are expected to fall vacant with the superannuation of professors in the coming months.
As many as 382 teaching posts are vacant for many years and the student-teacher ratio affected the chances of the century-old university getting higher NAAC grades.
About 52 per cent of posts are vacant and the government was permitted to fill up the posts in 2020 but it had to withdraw the consent over the COVID-19 situation.
