To facilitate the same, Prof Rajiv Narang has been designated as the ‘chief coordinating officer’ and shall be responsible for actively following up the vacancy status and the action being taken thereof with the faculty cell, recruitment cell and examination section. An action taken report will be submitted to the director’s office on a weekly basis.
