UGC launches 'CU-Chayan portal

In News
  • The University Grants Commission (UGC) has launched a new portal named ‘CU-Chayan’ for faculty appointments in central varsities.
About the portal
  • On the new portal, central universities will still be responsible for advertising job openings, accepting applications, screening applicants, conducting interviews, and hiring faculty members, just as they did before. However, all of these tasks will be managed through the admin dashboard for each university on the portal.
  • Applicants will find a consolidated list of openings across the central universities, personalized dashboards to help manage the application process, and filters such as location, designation, subject, experience, and education level to view openings that suit them.
  • Applicants will have 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, among others.
Benefits
  • The portal will also throw up real-time data on vacancies, applications under consideration, and whether the reservation policy is being followed or not.
  • It will fast-track the recruitment process without centralizing the faculty hiring for the central universities.
  • For universities, the platform will provide real-time tracking of applications, customised admin dashboards, and configurable advertisement rules.
  • It also enables a completely online process, including payment gateways, from initial application to screening, and includes built-in e-mail communication tools and online feedback and reference options for referees.
