Chhattisgarh to recruit nearly 700 assistant professors for government colleges

The Chhattisgarh government is set to begin the recruitment process for nearly 700 teaching positions in government colleges, including assistant professor posts, in an effort to address faculty shortages in the state’s higher education institutions.

Officials said the move is aimed at strengthening academic capacity across government colleges, many of which have been functioning with vacant teaching positions for several years. Filling these posts is expected to improve the student teacher ratio and ensure smoother delivery of undergraduate and postgraduate courses.

According to the state’s higher education department, the recruitment will cover multiple academic disciplines where vacancies have affected classroom teaching and course offerings. Authorities believe that the appointments will help expand academic programmes and improve the quality of instruction in government colleges.

Education department officials also noted that the recruitment is part of a broader effort to strengthen higher education infrastructure in the state. With student enrolment increasing in several districts, the government sees the hiring of qualified faculty as necessary to maintain academic standards.

The recruitment process is expected to begin soon, with detailed notifications and eligibility criteria likely to be issued by the concerned authorities.
