Though there are ample job opportunities in the field of teaching in our country, there is dearth of qualified and suitable candidates, Bapuji Institute of Engineering and Technology director Vrushabhendrappa has said.
Speaking at the inaugural ceremony of a two-day symposium titled ‘Mech-I-Prix 2015’ here on Sunday, he said that over 70 per cent of teaching posts in all the IIT’s country were vacant due to non-availability of qualified candidates and many eminent scientists from our country had moved abroad in search of better opportunities.
When the situation of IITs was so crucial, the government has sanctioned 10 more IITs and the authorities were looking for suitable sites to establish them. He insisted that the budding engineers should take up research in different engineering disciplines and get the Ph.D.’s, so that the IITs get qualified lecturers, he added.
