Various committees steer the development and execution of the institute's activities, in keeping with IISER Pune's Vision. The committees are periodically reconstituted to widen participation, bring in new ideas and develop leadership.

 

1. The term of office for Chairs of Departments, Deans, Deputy Chairs, Associate Deans is for 3 years.
2. There is a Deputy Chair for each of the departments existing for 5 years or more.
3. The Director appoints the Chairs/Deputy Chairs through consultations with faculty members of respective departments. These appointments are NOT based on seniority or any hierarchy. A second term is possible for the holders of these posts in exceptional cases.
4. The sharing of various administrative responsibilities in each department is worked out jointly by the Chair and the Deputy Chair.
5. As far as possible, the operative policy is one-person-one post. Certain exceptions may be allowed.
6. In terms of the membership, every attempt is made to give representation across the departments in various committees.
7. All faculty members are encouraged to accept memberships and responsibilities of the committees, as we believe that all beneficiaries are obliged to contribute in the functioning of the institute.
