On Thursday, the government introduced a bill which seeks to fill the 7000 existing vacancies through direct recruitment in accordance with the new quota system in the Lok Sabha.
A similar bill was passed during the tenure of the previous Lok Sabha which has now lapsed.
Under the new bill, University/College will be considered as a one unit and government plans to revive the old reservation system based on the 200-point roster. Under this, the unit for reservation of posts in direct recruitment in teachers’ cadre will be the university and not the department.
In March, last year, UGC had said that an individual department should be considered as a basis of unit for the calculating the reserved posts in teaching , following an order by the Allahabad HC in April 2017.
According to the HRD Ministry, the new reservation law in the teaching will improve the standard of the education in the higher educational institutions by attracting all eligible talented candidates belonging to SCs/STs/SEBCs/EWS.
