candidates for faculty positions. Some of these measures include year-round
open advertisements, holding of selection committee meetings through video
conferencing, invitation to alumni, scientists and faculty to reach out to
potential candidates, advertisements in international journals, outstanding
young faculty awards, etc. IITs also appoint NRIs and PIOs to the faculty
positions on the same terms and conditions as those of the
regular
faculty. Mobility of faculty from one Central Educational Institute to another
has also been allowed from October, 2014. The Institutions are engaging
contract, adjunct and visiting faculty as well as using the online mode of
teaching to overcome these shortages. Faculty in NITs have also been given pay
parity with faculty in IITs with a view to attract quality faculty. In
addition, the salary limit for employment Visa to foreign faculty has been
reduced from US$ 25,000 to US$ 14,000 with a view to enable foreign faculty to
join IITs and NITs.
