UGC chairperson M Jagadesh Kumar, earlier in the week had launched the portal www.curec.samarth.ac.in,which would benefit both applicants and universities as it will carry a consolidated list of job openings across all central universities and provide a simple interface to apply.

As there are 46 central universities under the Union Ministry of Education,  this portal will help UGC hand-hold the universities to fast-track the recruitment process, as it will throw up real-time data on vacancies, applications under consideration, and also track whether the reservation policy is being followed or not.

The portal was not aimed at centralising faculty hiring for all central universities, which will continue to have their autonomy in the recruitment process. The central universities have been directed to disband their existing recruitment portals.

However, the central universities will continue to advertise the positions, collect online applications, shortlist the applicants, conduct the interviews and appoint the faculty members as they were doing earlier. All the above activities will be carried out through the admin dashboard for each university on this portal.
