In this regard, the governor on Tuesday convened a meeting with the Vice Chancellor of DM University, H. Gyan Prakash and Registrar of DMU, Dr Nivedita Lairenlakpam this evening at Raj Bhavan in Imphal and discussed the issue arising out of the non-declaration-of-results-of-recruitment of assistant professors of Botany and Physics subjects of the University.
Explaining the recruitment process of the faculty members, VC Gyan Prakash said, the tabulation submitted by the examining authority was not filled up and only four candidates each for Botany and Physics were mentioned in the proceeding sheet.
He even mentioned that 11 and 13 assistant professors for Botany and Physics respectively have to be recruited but due to the unavailability of the merit list, fresh interviews of the candidates who were invited and came for the interview held earlier will be conducted shortly in respect of these two subjects.
