Dearth of teachers in JNU, DU & BHU

The HRD ministry also told the lower house that the situation is so bad that temporary and guest faculty have been appointed on contract by new central universities.
All renowned universities are facing the same problem. Allahabad University there is 43.5 vacancy, JNU has 32.5% vacancy (237 out of 728), Indira Gandhi National Open University has nearly 40 percent (273/692) teaching posts lying vacant.%
