Mohammed Younus / Hyderabad : Lack of staff and other necessary requisites in the Jawaharlal Nehru Architecture and Fine Arts University (JNAFAU) has led to holding back of the status of 12 (B) to the varsity by the University Grants Commission (UGC) and also denial of funds for the research and development. UGC gives the 12 (B) status to the universities for their development on the condition of fulfilling some requisites.
UGC gives the 12 (B) statusto the universities for their development on the condition of fulfilling some requisites. According to the norms, each department should have one professor, an associate professor and two assistant professors. Ironically, none of the five departments in the varsity have been provided with such staff.
Despite several representations being made by the university staff, the present in charge vice chancellor was not recruiting the required staff for no reasons. University has 2 (F) status allowing it to have recognition. According to the norms, each department should have one professor, an associate professor and two assistant professors. Ironically, none of the five departments in the varsity have been provided with such staff. Telangana Teachers Welfare Association president S Pradeep Kumar said that due to lack of 12 (B) status, National Assessment and Accreditation Committee (NAAC) has not visited the campus from the inception.
He also said that lack of 12 (B) status has brought down the value of certificates being given to the students. He alleged that no audit was been conducted on the accounts of the university since it would lead to the inspection of financial matters of the institution. He said that this was one of the reasons for not taking up the recruitment. The fine arts college used to be an affiliate to Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University and it was made university itself few years back and this has led to no control on the affairs of the institution.
Other staff members said that several complaints have been lodged with Lokayukta against the in charge VC JNAFAU Non-Teaching Association secretary K Mahipal Reddy said that teachers are being recruited on contract basis rather than through the well laid rules. He said, “Around 80 contract employees have been appointed in the architecture and planning department of the varsity flouting the norms.” The professors in the varsity demanded to focus on the activities going on in the campus as it was incurring heavy monetary and academic losses.
-Established in the year 2008 by state act separating it from JNTUH

-Five major departments were sanctioned along with other self-finance courses
-Teaching staff in all the departments is inadequate
-Varsity was instructed to recruit the required staff in all departments
-UGC has not conferred 12 (B) status, owing to laxity in recruitment
-No funds have been released from UGC till date for research and academic purposes
-The University has not been accredited by NAAC so far
-Certificates of the students would not be considered authentic in future
-Vice Chancellor reportedly not taking up recruitment only to save her vested interests
-Research activities are absent due to lack of funds
