New Delhi: In reference to certain media reports doing rounds, IIT Delhi likes to clarify that the institute has never approached faculty members of specific educational institution in the country to join this premier engineering institution.
Recruitment of talented faculty at IIT Delhi is a peer reviewed and continuous process drawing on academic input from all levels of the faculty. Of the 600+ faculty members in IIT Delhi, over 150 were appointed in the last few years across disciplines and experience levels. The process is robust and working well.
The final decision rests with a committee appointed by the Board of Governors with expert members external to IIT Delhi. As the recruitment at all positions is through an open advertisement process, teachers and researchers of advanced standing in other institutions are eligible and their applications are considered at par.
IIT Delhi, as an Institution of Eminence, welcomes academic talent from all over the world, as students, researchers and teachers.
