Serious allegations have been made regarding the selection for two posts of Assistant Professor in the Commerce Department of Allahabad University. It is alleged that two candidates have been selected despite their names not being in the interview list. On Monday, this episode went viral on social media. The envelope of 19 teachers selected for appointment in the Commerce Department was opened in the emergency meeting of the Executive Council on 26 July. The meeting was held in the afternoon and before this, interviews of the candidates selected for this subject were conducted. The University uploads the list of candidates selected for the interview on its website. The list of candidates selected for the interview uploaded on the website did not have the names of Kumar Saurabh and Komal Raghav. The press release issued by the PRO regarding the selected candidates after the meeting on 26 July has the names of both of them. Both have been selected for Assistant Professor. Many types of questions are being raised on social media regarding this.
In the Commerce Department, 19 teachers have been appointed against 28 vacant posts of teachers. In this, appointments have been made on one post of Professor, four posts of Associate Professor and 14 posts of Assistant Professor.
Selection could not be made for nine posts due to non-availability of eligible candidates, which include two posts of Professor, three posts of Associate Professor and four posts of Assistant Professor.
PRO was included as an additional candidate
IVV PRO Prof. Jaya Kapoor says that no kind of irregularity has been done in the interview. The process is completely transparent. After the list of candidates selected for the interview is uploaded on the website, the candidates who apply see the comments of the screening committee along with the cutoff score. If they feel that there is some discrepancy in adding the scores, then they apply to the Grievance Cell. The Grievance Committee re-examines it and if their claim is found to be correct, then with the special permission of the Vice Chancellor, they are called for interview as additional candidates. Candidates from the Commerce Department had also applied to the Grievance Cell. Four candidates were included in the interview after their applications were found to be correct.
