Assistant Professor Recruitment

Maharashtra's Minister of Higher and Technical Education, Chandrakant Patil, announced the recruitment of medical faculty and non-teaching staff on Saturday. He stated that 5500 vacant Assistant Professor positions in higher education colleges will be filled before March 2026.

Approval for Non-Teaching Positions

Minister Patil, speaking at the 28th convocation ceremony of Swami Ramanand Teerth Marathwada University in Nanded, announced government approval for 2900 non-teaching staff positions. Both the finance and planning departments have given their consent.

Previous Recruitment Stalled

The minister also mentioned that previously, approval was given for the recruitment of 700 Assistant Professors in universities. Still, the recruitment could not be completed due to a different procedure suggested by the then-Governor, C. P. Radhakrishnan. This matter will now be raised with the new Governor, Acharya Devvrat.

Efforts to Attract Foreign Students

Minister Patil stated that strengthening universities can attract foreign students. This year, through an agency, 4,000 students from 65 countries enrolled, but most prioritised Pune and Mumbai.
