A Delhi University college has sacked six ad-hoc faculty members, five of whom had been working at the institution for more than a decade, and recruited 11 new teachers who senior academics say have inferior qualifications.
Satyawati (Evening) College had advertised 16 posts in its Hindi department, where 11 ad-hoc faculty members worked. Following interviews between September 1 and 16, six of the ad-hoc teachers were rejected, five were appointed as regular teachers, and 11 fresh candidates were recruited.
Some of the fresh but unsuccessful candidates said off the record that their interviews lasted just around five minutes.
