Hamirpur – In a bid to address the current faculty shortage, the National Institute of Technology (NIT) Hamirpur has announced to fill 65 vacant posts in various departments on a contract basis. The move comes as a measure to ensure the uninterrupted academic progress of its undergraduate and postgraduate students.
The administration of NIT Hamirpur had earlier invited applications from interested candidates last month for permanent faculty positions.
