DU urges UGC to sanction 3,000 posts to maintain student-teacher ratio
Delhi University has urged the University Grants Commission (UGC) to sanction more than 3,000 additional teaching and non-teaching posts across 46 colleges to maintain the student-teacher ratio, officials said on Friday.
The student-teacher ratio has been impacted due to the implementation of the 10 per cent reservation for the EWS category in admissions, they said.
The varsity has also requested the Delhi government's Department of Higher Education to sanction hundreds of teaching and non-teaching posts across 12 colleges funded by the government, a senior varsity official told PTI.
Letters were sent to the UGC and the Delhi government on Thursday with the list of colleges that need additional teaching and non-teaching posts to maintain the student-teacher ratio, the senior official said.
The varsity has also demanded grants from the government and the UGC in this regard.
The principals have prepared a proposal of their respective colleges for additional number of teaching posts
