In a statement issued on Wednesday, the MeTTA-NEHU expressed its concerns over the many irregularities and inconsistencies in the functioning of these officers who have no knowledge of the rules, regulations and administrative procedures. “This is reflected in many of the official correspondences issued by them from time to time. As per sources, it is learnt that there were many qualified and experienced candidates serving in different departments of the State Government who have applied for the posts but were rejected. However, a mediocre, Mr. Amit Gupta, who has no experience in the University administration has been appointed as Deputy Registrar”, it said.

According to MeTTA-NEHU, it was learnt that in the recent appointment of contractual post in Integrated Teacher Education Programme (ITEP), NEHU, there were many qualified candidates who were not called for the interview, whereas, candidates who were not qualified were appointed. Considering the current disturbing situation in NEHU, METTA-NEHU endorses the demand of NEHUSU to terminate the services of the Registrar, Col. (Retd.) Omkar Singh and the NEHUTA’s demand for removal of the two newly appointed Deputy Registrars who were found to be incompetent and unfit to run the administration.

North Eastern Hill University Students’ Union (NEHUSU) and the Khasi Students’ Union (KSU) NEHU Unit on Wednesday protested outside the office of the University’s vice chancellor against the failure to terminate the services of the Registrar and other illegal appointees.

The students also served a six-day deadline to the vice chancellor to comply with the demand before November 4.
