CUK ignores BTHM candidates for teaching posts | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, May 4: The department of Tourism Studies, Central University of Kashmir (CUK) has reportedly ignored Bachelor of Tourism and Hospitality Management (BTHM) qualified candidates for the posts of teaching assistant for Tourism and Hospitality Management course. The aspirants told Early Times that the department concerned has invited application for the posts of teaching assistants for teaching Bachelor of Vocation in Tourism and Hospitality Management. "It is very shocking that the CUK, without constituting a panel for interview, has done interview with a single faculty member from the department concerned", the aspirants said. They said that as per university guidelines interview for contractual or permanent posts can't be conducted by a single faculty member. For conducting interview for any post the university has to constitute a panel with three-five members. But the guidelines were not adhered to while holding interviews for teaching assistants. The Tourism and Hospitality Management course is run in various universities and polytechnic colleges of J&K including the CUK. To adjust a 'blue eyed' candidate the department of Tourism Studies of the CUK did not consider the candidates having Bachelor's degree in Tourism and Hospitality Management. They were dismissed as 'not eligible,' sources said. "It is beyond comprehension that the CUK has fixed eligibility for the posts as Bachelor or Masters because few candidates who have qualified Masters in Tourism and Hospitality Management and qualified National Eligibility Test in particular subject have been rejected for the post of teaching assistant because their Bachelor degrees are not in Hotel Management", the aspirants said. Criticizing the CUK administration, the aspirants said that if a 'blue-eyed' candidate was appointed for such post then why they waste time and money of others? In the past, many illegal appointments have been made in the CUK including that of its public relations officer. The 'blue-eyed' candidate appointed for the PRO post was very close to at least one of the interview panelists, a senior teacher in Kashmir University's media department who is now based in New Delhi. That time also many deserving candidates had made passionate appeals to the then Chief Minister to look into the matter. But all pleas went unheard. Meanwhile, CUK's head of Tourism Studies department, Fayyaz Sayyed, was not available for comments. |
