Of late the Bihar government has decided to fill these vacancies in its eight universities through Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC). There has been no appointment of teachers for last about a decade.
An amendment in the Bihar State Universities Act will be affected to pave the way for the appointment through BPSC. The education department has already prepared the draft, which is to be sent to the cabinet for approval.
Earlier an amendment bill was introduced, which had proposed constitution of a University Commission but it was turned down governor Devanand Konwar, who is also Chancellor of the state universities, saying it was a Finance Bill. After that the government decided to go for new appointments through the BPSC.
According to the education department principal secretary Amarjeet Sinha it is hoped that the appointments would be made before the start of next academic session in 2013.
The proposal after the approval of education minister P K Shahi has been referred to the law department.
