New Delhi: Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee will not recruit its own PhD students as faculty members at the end of their course, despite their credentials and credentials.

"We are not open to hiring our own PhD students as faculty members and we prefer to hire the best faculty from across the country and around the world," said Ajit Kumar Chaturvedi, CEO of IIT Roorkee ,.

"This is a very regressive practice that someone who has studied here will not get fresh ideas that their umbilical cord will never be broken. It will have elders and teachers to support and guide so that the No one will ever develop an individuality despite his academic and research, "he added.

The first institute, however, welcomes its BTech students to pursue a doctorate at the end of their engineering degrees. It also plans to hire more foreign professors as the government has relaxed standards for hiring foreign professors in IITs.

"There are foreign professors in ITIs right now, but they are only a handful because of stringent government standards. However, standards are slackening now to allow us to hire more foreign nationals, "said Chaturvedi.
Foreign professors in ITIs may work as contract employees for five years. The contract is renewable and although they are not offered permanent posts, they are paid on an equal basis with faculty members in India.
After opening the way for the direct admission of BTech students to doctoral courses, the Department of Human Resources and Skills Development also created a Premier's Fellowship whereby the selected fellows receive Rs 75,000 per month but will have to return The whole Course halfway. The plan, however, is still to get the Cabinet nodding.
