Job profiles flood UGC's job portal
The academic job portal launched recently by the University Grants Commission is flooded with job seekers, and within a week of its launch, more than 7,500 candidates have already posted their profiles on the website. However, the number of vacancies posted on the portal is less than 10.
Educationist Prof Mohd Muzammil said, "Linking higher education with employment is the need of the hour. The job portal will help generate employability especially among NET, JRF qualified candidates who are hunting a job." In June 2012, as many as 43,957 of the 5,71,627 candidates who sat for NET qualified the examination. Of this, 3,625 candidates have qualified for Junior Research Fellowship (JRF). Most of them are yet to be appointed.
Till date, 3,871 NET qualified candidates, 1,321 NET-JRF candidates, 720 SET candidates and 1,783 PhD candidates have already registered. However, the number of jobs posted includes one each for assistant professor, assistant librarian and web developer, and two each for lecturer and principal.
