NEW DELHI : Facilitating the job hunt for academics, the University Grants Commission (UGC) has set up an academic job portal for Phd, National Eligibility Test (NET), and State Eligibility Test (SET) qualified candidates.
The ‘Academic Job Portal’ will allow eligible candidates to register and create their profiles online for teaching jobs available in universities and colleges.
Through the portal, employers can also search for candidates available and post the job vacancies for candidates to apply against. The UGC intends to upgrade the jobs available and post non-teaching jobs as well. Non-teaching jobs include a wide range of administrative roles such as in accounts and also in engineering, security, health, library, and others. The registrar is often not an academic and deputed from other services.
Typically, public institutions advertise posts in the media and on their individual websites. In the private sector, the recruitment process is more opaque.
“The UGC is in the process of upgrading the job portal with the inclusion of Non-Teaching vacancies and also adding some new features. The upgraded portal shall become functional shortly,” an official statement said.
The commission has asked Vice-Chancellors to upload all job vacancies on this academic job portal for eligible candidates. In February 2021, the UGC had also directed all central and state universities to fill up all vacant teaching and non-teaching posts under various reserved categories.
