APPROVAL OF THE STANDING LISTS OF EXPERTS FOR THE SELECTION BOARDS OF PUNJAB UNIVERSITY


The long awaited grid lock ends in Punjab University as historical Punjab University Selection board was held after a long pause of 18th Months.

Despite the best efforts of the previous administration, no Selection Board meeting could be held in Punjab University after May 2015, due to series of court proceedings, stays and interruption due to multiple litigations and faculty disputes.

Surprisingly, the new Vice-Chancellor Prof. Dr. Zaffar Moeen Naser was successful in overcoming these obstacles, irritants and was able to pacify the concerns of teaching faculty across the board. Punjab University Deans of all faculties stood behind the new administration by strengthening the hands of new vice-chancellor and help holding up the Selection Board successfully where a huge agenda of Panel of experts from industrial advanced developed countries and internal subject experts, for 73 institutes/centres/departments and 10 constituent colleges of 13 Faculties were approved unanimously. Standing lists of experts of about two thousands were approved. Punjab University has planned to start the selection boards to fill up more than 500 vacant seats of Professor, Associate Professors, Assistant Professors and Lecturer through marathon series of Selection Board in the next three months.
