Advertisement for the
Post of Registrar at IIIT-Delhi
Applications
are invited for the position of Registrar at the Indraprastha Institute
of Information Technology, Delhi (IIIT-Delhi), a state University recently
created by an Act of Delhi Govt. IIIT-Delhi is a research-led institute,
fashioned after IITs.
Job Description
The Registrar
is the Head of the administrative wing of the Institute. Administration
in IIIT-D is a service function, with the main goal of
providing support to the academic side of the Institute. The key function
of the Registrar therefore is to ensure that the administrative wing
provides efficient and courteous support to students, faculty, academic
functionaries, so they can excel in teaching and R&D, while ensuring
that all statutory requirements are being met. Due to this, a service-attitude
is essential for doing the job well, unlike large Institutes and Universities
where the job of the Registrar may indeed be that of administering over
a large staff. Also, the Institute desires that even senior administrators
perform some tasks directly and take responsibility themselves for some
functions, and not be pure administrators who coordinate and allocate
work. Hence, ability to do work yourself (create a policy document,
do some analysis, initiate and drive some initiative, etc.) is essential
to succeed in this post. Finally, as the core function of the Institute
is academics and the goal is to excel in that, to avoid friction with
the academic side of the Institute, the Registrar must have respect
for academics, academicians, and academic values.
