These teachers would hold the charge from June 16, 2025, till further orders, the order stated. "Accordingly, the concerned teachers will perform the additional and daily duties of the dean's post while performing their other duties," the order said.
For this, an additional allowance of Rs5,000 per month is being sanctioned to them as per the approval given by the Management Council on June 15.
The full-time deans were appointed by then vice-chancellor Subhash Chaudhari, who passed away in September last year.
The deans were allowed to continue till the end of the academic year in April, but their terms were extended till June 15, keeping NU's workload in mind.
The process of appointing a new vice-chancellor has also picked up pace, with the university planning to soon publish a recruitment advertisement. Once a new VC is appointed, the NU will also get full-time deans and a pro vice-chancellor.
