2.4.2. How are the members of the faculty selected?

The procedure for new recruitment follows a clear set of norms. Workload of the
courses, introduction of new courses, superannuation of teachers or teacher‘s
resignations – these and related issues necessitate recruitment of new teachers. The
HOD concerned takes these into consideration, and gives in writing to the Principal
the need for additional staff. The Director or Jesuit Principal informs the Vice
President, BJES, of the vacancies and with his approval starts the recruitment process.
This includes issuing advertisements, inviting applications and holding interviews.
The minimum requirement expected of potential appointees is postgraduation in the
concerned subject, but candidates with PhD /NET/K-SET are preferred.
Each institution under BJES has the same standard format for evaluating the
candidates during the personal interview. The panel consists of HOD, subject experts,
and a management representative. The applicant is informed beforehand to come
prepared for a demonstration class. After the interview, each member of the panel
records the marks in the evaluation form, signs it and submits it to the Principal in a
sealed envelope. The sealed envelopes are submitted to the Vice President/Rector
who then submits them to BJES for final selection.

*Selection Process of Part-time/Temporary Staff
The Principal is empowered to appoint part-time and temporary staff. If the Principal
is a lay person, then the Jesuit director may appoint part-time or temporary staff. In
either case, the appointment is made after a due interview process. Part-time positions
are created only when the number of teaching hours per week is less than 14 hours per
week, which is not enough to create a fulltime position.
