CU-Chayan: UGC launches ‘user-friendly’ portal for faculty recruitment in Central universities

The University Grant Commission (UGC) Chairman M Jagadesh Kumar on Tuesday i.e. 2 May 2023 launched the Central University Faculty recruitment portal CU-Chayan and declared that the CU-Chayan portal is a completely user-friendly portal and will fulfil the needs of all the stakeholders in the recruitment process.

In a conversation with ANI, UGC Chairman M Jagadesh Kumar said, "CU-Chayan portal is completely user-friendly and caters to the needs of all the stakeholders in the recruitment process. UGC has developed this portal to create an enabling environment for both universities and the applicants with universities driving all the stages of the recruitment independently. It is a unified recruitment portal, designed and developed specifically for recruitment of the faculties in Central Universities."

He further stated, “The portal provides a common platform for listing vacancies/advertisements/jobs across all Central Universities. The portal makes the recruitment process completely online starting from application to screening with alerts to all the users of the portal."

For the benefit of applicants, the platform offers a range of features, including a consolidated listing of job openings across all participating universities, a single login for applying to any of the universities, and personalised dashboards to help manage the application process. The applicant can also search for jobs using various filters like University name, location, designation, category, subject, type of employment, experience, education level, etc," he told ANI.

“UGC will be maintaining this portal for the benefit of all the CUs and is not a centralised recruitment process for all CUs. All CUs will continue to have their autonomy in the recruitment process and all the recruitments will be done by the respective CUs,” said Kumar.
