Filling up of vacancies on regular basis is a continuous process and efforts are made to fill up the vacancies as per the provisions of the relevant recruitment rules of concerned Institution. Teachers are engaged on contractual basis for temporary duration by Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan (KVS) to ensure that the teaching-learning process is not hampered. To maintain the quality of education and to cover up the shortfall in the faculty, the CFHEIs under Ministry of Education are having the provision of recruiting / appointing visiting / adjunct faculty, Emeritus Professor, Institute Professor, ad-hoc faculty, Guest Faculty, Contract Faculty and Re-employed Faculty etc. There is no provision for making contractual / Ad-hoc teachers permanent as recruitment of teachers is made through a transparent participatory process through advertisement, written exam and interview. The process of filling up of lying vacant position of teachers / faculties have been advertised by the respective CFHEI under mission mode recruitment.
