The Hindu is inviting readers to a webinar on faculty recruitment rules scheduled for Oct. 17 at 5 p.m. The registration is free, and the publication says the authors of the three best questions will receive an online subscription.
The piece announces a webinar titled “Faculty Recruitment Rules in India: From Policy to Practice” and lists four participants. One is former University Grants Commission chair M. Jagadesh Kumar, who held the post from February 2022 to April 2025.
It also includes speaker biographies. Y.S.R. Murthy previously served as registrar at O.P. Jindal Global University and founding vice-chancellor of RV University. Rituparna Patgiri was associate editor of Society from 2023 to 2025. Balaji Alagurajan is listed as having 16 years of teaching experience.
The item calls for registration and promises the authors of the three best questions a free online subscription to The Hindu. It promotes the publication’s own event rather than providing an independent editorial examination of recruitment rules, so it is declined.
