The 111 vacant posts include 32 Professor positions, 32 Associate Professor positions, and 47 Assistant Professor positions. This recruitment drive aims to alleviate the university’s academic and administrative workload, which has been overburdened due to the vacancies.

SPPU Vice-Chancellor Suresh Gosavi emphasized the importance of selecting quality candidates through a meticulous process. “We have appointed a steering committee of experts to ensure error-free recruitment and long-term benefits for the university,” Gosavi said.

With the revised advertisement released before the impending code of conduct for state assembly elections, the interview process is expected to commence within the next two months. SPPU is likely to welcome new faculty members by the new year, bringing relief to the university’s overburdened staff and enhancing its teaching and research capabilities.
