To get to the ideal teacher- student ratio, it is projected
that the elite institutes will be taken close to a decade by the Indian
Institutes of Technology. At present, the ratio must be concern in IITs as it
is stipulated by the government that a teacher-student ratio must be 1:10. At
present the faculty strength is 3,904 all India.
An IIT director said that "Around 35 to 40 new teachers are being picked
by the older IITs annually”. He also revealed that as PhD members went up and
due to OBC expansion, the student strength has risen rapidly. To take the faculty
numbers up so sharply and quickly it is not easy for them, say Next to
impossible.
The Director of IIT RoorKee Pradipto Banerjee stated "Just because we are facing staff shortage, the quality of teaching faculty cannot be compromised and even we do not want to compromise. It has been acknowledged that extra burden goes on our existing teachers, but we are searching for good people”. Recruitment will start once the finance ministry gives its nod.

"Better-qualified people are qualified for modern equipment
and sophisticated labs," says the IIT head. As per the need of an
individual institute people will be recruited and the requirement will be
submitted by each IIT.
According to the latest updates from Hindi News Paper, the responsibility of running the labs has been
on the shoulders of the faculty and the staff. The faculty members will be able
devote time to teaching and research and will be free from the responsibility
of looking after the labs and the workshops by the help of new technical cadre
staff.
