DU teachers write to VC alleging discrepancies in allocation of teaching posts under category at IPCW

As many as 10 teachers alleged in the letter to the VC that the IPCW's commerce department had no openings for Scheduled Tribes (ST) in 2019, down from a total of one. The department of economics has also seen a similar pattern. Teachers, including members of the academic council, have encouraged Singh to behave appropriately in this case.

DU teachers write to VC alleging discrepancies in allocation of teaching posts under category at IPCW

Delhi University teachers have reached out to Vice Chancellor Yogesh Singh citing discrepancies in the allocations of teaching positions under reserved categories at the Indraprastha College for Women, alleging that the roster has been twisted in such a way that three ST positions have lapsed in different departments.

As many as 10 teachers alleged in the letter to the VC that the IPCW's commerce department had no openings for Scheduled Tribes (ST) in 2019, down from a total of one. The department of economics has also seen a similar pattern. Teachers, including members of the academic council, have encouraged Singh to behave appropriately in this case.

"We would like to let you know about the various discrepancies that have been time and again prevalent in the allocation of teaching positions in the colleges of Delhi University. It is a harsh reality of the current times where we see the various efforts done by administrators to oversee the category section in the context of recruitment blindly. We would like to bring to your notice that there has been constant negligence of category positions in the allotment of vacancies (at Indraprastha College for Women). It can be seen that the Commerce vacancy for ST was 1 in 2019 and 0 positions in 2023, Economics 1 ST position in 2019 and ST reduced to 0 in 2023," the letter read.

The roster has been twisted in such a way that three positions of Scheduled Tribe (ST) in different departments have lapsed, the teachers alleged.

"It is sad to see the current state of biases when it comes to the allotment of vacancies in various departments. It is a serious issue of negligence of the reserved categories where most of these issues in various colleges remain unnoticed," the teachers said.

"It is our humble and honest appeal to please look into the matter at the earliest. Otherwise, we are bound to fail in our mission to be an inclusive institution. We request you to take appropriate action on an urgent basis," they added.
