Govt Jobs 2026: Maharashtra Higher and Technical Education Minister Chandrakant Patil said on Saturday that 5,500 assistant professors will be recruited in senior colleges in the state before March 2026.
He was speaking at the 28th convocation of Swami Ramanand Teerth Marathwada University in Nanded.
Patil said that the government has approved 5,500 assistant professors and 2,900 non-teaching positions for senior colleges. The minister stated that both the Finance and Planning departments have given their consent.
Assistant Professor Recruitment Process to be Completed Soon
He said that a Government Resolution (GR) will be issued soon, and the vacant 5,500 assistant professor positions will be filled before March next year.
Patil said that approval had already been given to recruit 700 assistant professors in universities, but the process could not be completed because the then Governor, C.P. Radhakrishnan, suggested a different method.
He said that since Radhakrishnan has been appointed Vice President, the matter will be raised with the new Governor, Acharya Devvrat.
4,000 students from 65 countries enrolled
The minister said that universities should be strengthened to attract foreign students. He said that this year, an agency was appointed through which 4,000 students from 65 countries enrolled, but most students preferred Pune and Mumbai.
He said that today's youth have immense potential to transform society.
He said, "The Maharashtra government has opened doors of opportunities through initiatives like Startup India, Make in India, and Digital India. You have the power to experiment, innovate, and create new paths. But remember, entrepreneurship and careers should always be based on values and social responsibility."
