Hyderabad: The Telangana State government continues to dawdle on the process of appointing Vice-Chancellors, even as varsities suffer. The TRS government intends to nominate V-Cs against the general practice of inviting applications, but that plan has hit a roadblock. While members to serve on the search committee for selection of the V-Cs have been finalised, it is yet to be formally notified.
According to sources, the process of appointment of V-Cs could take some more time. “There is nothing we can do at this point. We have to work with what we have,” sources said. The University Grants Commission, meanwhile, has set a deadline till the beginning of the next academic year for filling vacant faculty positions.
Meanwhile, the group of ministers constituted to review the fee reimbursement scheme met on Wednesday. Deputy Chief Minister Kadiam Srihari said no decision had been made, but the government would review the scheme in view of the glaring irregularities in engineering colleges to avail the scheme.
