Premier institutes like Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) admit students with great aspirations and getting an admission into an IIT is definitely not a cake walk for many. But the shocking discovery made in these institutions is that the faculty shortage is at peak with more than 16 IITs facing the lack of quality professors.

With the tough system practiced at the IITs, students may find it hard to cope up but the faculty shortage makes it even tougher for the new batch admitted. HRD Minister revealed that on an average, IITs have about 37 percent faculty shortage and newly admitted batch of students performance is not up to the mark.
To overcome the issue, IITs are planning to recruit back the retired professors. IIT Bhubaneswar, compared to the old IITs is offering 30 percent more salary. Other IITs including IIT Guwahati has faculty gap of 149 teachers, IIT Gandhinagar has 15% of retired professors and IIT Jodhpur need 76 percent more lecturers.
With Prime Minister Narendra Modi planning to set five more IITs in India, it is to wonder how the faculty shortage will be plugged.
