Selection board  of IUB is conducting interviews for selection of Assistant Professors in 48 discipline

 BAHAWALPUR (PR): on the direction of Prof. Dr. Qaiser Mushtaq, Vice Chancellor, the Islamia University of Bahawalpur, the administrative department has planned regular meetings of the  selection board to select candidates for the posts of Assistant Professors, Associate Professors, Professors and  administrative positions. Currently, board is conducting interviews for selection of Assistant Professors in 48 discipline, 573 candidates appeared against 157 vacancies. It is important to mention that on joining of Prof. Dr. Qaiser Mushtaq there was acute shortage of faculty especially at senior level positions as there were only 12 Professors in the University while number of Associate and Assistant Professors was also very low. During the last two years 9 selection boards were conducted as a result 10 Professors, 8 Associate Professors and 109 Assistant Professors were appointed. During the current phase, university is expected to fill vacant posts of faculty members at Professors and Associate level to culminate to adhocism prevailing in the university since decades as university cannot appoint administrative heads of faculties and teaching departments without having regularly appointed senior faculty members. It is expected that before the commencement of new academic session in September this year, the University will be able to fill vacant positions in teaching departments which will ultimately pave the way for standardization in academia and research which has already improved significantly during the last two years.
