Joint director of Education refutes NU colleges claims

25 July 2013

Dilip Patil the Joint director of higher education for Nagpur region has proven that the claims of Nagpur University's 250 banned colleges of not getting qualified NET/SET candidates are false

 

Joint director of higher education for Nagpur region Dilip Patil has refuted the claims of Nagpur University's 250 banned colleges. The colleges had stated that NET/SET qualified candidates were not available to them for appointment as teachers. The banned colleges have been pleading their case on the basis of a lack of suitable candidates. They are seeking relief from the ban from the Nagpur bench of the Bombay High Court and the hearing is to resume on Thursday.

Patil stated that his office has received more than 160 applications for every lecturers post from NET/SET qualified candidates. The applications were made in response to advertisements for post of lecturers at a government-run college. Dilip Patil spoke to various media saying "These banned colleges are misleading everyone through their claims. If such a large number of NET/SET candidates could vie for a single post, I wonder why they do not apply for these colleges,".

The joint director clarified that this was not a onetime occurrence.  Each advertisement for teachers has gotten an incredible response for qualified candidates. He added "We don't have any magic wand or a secret. The reason is simple - we pay full salary, unlike many non-granted colleges that exploit the teachers to the hilt by paying meagre salary,".

Patil previously washed his hands off the alleged "illegal" decisions made by NU's Academic Council and later adapted by the Management Council. He stated that hundreds of NET/SET and PhD qualified candidates are unemployed and looking for jobs but avoided the non-granted colleges because of the low salaries offered.

He stated to the press "I can bet they would get qualified candidates if they paid salary at par with government colleges. In reality, a majority of them don't make any effort to recruit teachers. They're there just for the sake of minting money and exploiting the students," he claimed. The joint director attributed their advertisement campaign for getting such a large number of applications. "We issue ads in all national dailies and also across vernacular languages and Internet as well. We receive applications from across the country including Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Karnataka. Ask these banned colleges to float advertisements on various job portals and see how much response they get,".

Patil also claimed that contributory teachers were paid a decent amount of Rs24,000 per month by the government. He said "The non-granted colleges don't pay even that much. Why all granted colleges get teachers in abundance and non-granted struggle to find them? It is nothing but a mockery of entire education system".
