"We are also asking the centers to tell us about the vacancies available with each teacher. Once we receive the information, it will be put on the prospectus. It is the responsibility of the centers to inform us about the vacancies," he said. The administration has already started writing to each center, he added.

The entrance exams for various programs, including MPhil and Ph.D. courses, for the year 2017 began on May 16 and continued until May 19.
