Central University Of Punjab (CUP) Recruitment 2019 For Field Investigator

The Central University of Punjab, Bathinda (CUPB) was established in 2009 along with other new Central Universities by an Act of Parliament (No 25, of 2009). The University is now accredited with A grade from NAAC. It is credited with highest per capita research funding. The university has a mission of providing wide range of instructional and research facilities across integrated and cross-disciplines, promote innovation in teaching, learning and research, and cross-pollinate new ideas, new technologies and new world-views. It aims to create an ignited workforce responsive to regional, national and global needs in tune with the requirements of academia, industry and business. The university started in a three-room Camp Office provided by the state administration in March 2009. Making a modest but speedy start, the university accepted on rent, a dilapidated campus of 37 acres of an abandoned co-operative spinning mill on Mansa Road, Bathinda. It had a tin-roofed factory-hall and a small administrative building. These structures were renovated and made operational. It is from this campus that CUPB has been working and progressing. The university has established a Central Instrumentation Laboratory, Computer Centre and the University Library to provide high-end facilities to its faculty and students. Air-conditioned lecture rooms, well-equipped science laboratories, a 90-seater seminar hall and a 250-seater air-conditioned auditorium support the academic activities. Simultaneously, the arduous task of selecting enough contiguous land for its campus was undertaken. The Punjab State Government purchased 500 acre of land in Ghudda village and got it registered as a site for the new university campus. Adopting prescribed procedures, a 9 km wall was constructed followed by tendering for hiring the services of architect, Project Management Consultant and the contractors. Mandatory approvals of master plan, building plans, associated environmental clearances and also approval from departments of forests, roads, airport authorities and several others have been obtained. The construction work of Phase 1A is in full swing and allotment of work for Phase 1B is done. The Foundation Stone of the campus was laid by the then Honble Union Minister of Human Resource Development, Smt. Smriti Zubin Irani and the then Honble Chief Minister of Punjab, Sardar Parkash Singh Badal on 7th September, 2015. The campus is designed to be environment-friendly and energy efficient conforming to GRIHA-I norms, perhaps the first such instance in the area. Master Plan of the Main Campus has been certified with five-star rating of GRIHA for larger developments, the highest award of the Ministry of Urban Development, Govt. of India. Currently, CUPB has 22 departments spread over 11 schools in areas ranging from Sciences, Technology, Humanities, Laws and Social Sciences. We have adopted national model curricula wherever available and supplemented it with the local, national and global issues. CUPB offers only Masters and Ph.D. programmes. It started with the first batch of 10 students in 4 programmes in August 2009 and now has more than 1300 students in different academic programmes including 4 international students Afghanistan. It is a validation of universitys growing credibility among the students that in year 2018-19 the Demand ratio for PG programme 1:57 (43,330 applications for 764 seats) Ph.D. programme: 1:74 (9615 applications for 130 seats). Besides celebrating international and national commemorative days, students are encouraged to organize annual sports and cultural events during the Foundation Week in February every year. CUPB is committed to the social cause of not only the region, but the whole nation, and actively participates in events like Swachh Bharat Abhiyan and Vittiya Saksharta Abhiyan (VISAKA). Three students earned Award for promoting Digital Economy from Honble Minister of HRD. The University has been amongst the forerunners in term of research projects, which can be well seen with the Best Faculty to Research Projects Ratio of the University. To cater to the financial need of students, the university provides interest-free loan facility out of the Students Welfare Fund and has also implemented Earn-While-You-Learn scheme. In spite of the locational disadvantage, CUPB in true sense is a multi-cultural mini India as it supports students from 27 states, faculty from 18 states and non-teaching staff from 14 states. The university takes pride in its exceptionally qualified and committed faculty. Mostly faculty trained from the best universities of US, Canada, Germany, England, Japan, Israel. With a much-focussed approach, the university is undoubtedly poised to write a new chapter on the academic horizon of India.
