| 4 months on, Hr Education Deptt fails to finalize recruitment rules | | JKPSC awaits nod to start process for filling up 396 posts of APs, PTIs in colleges | | Early Times Report
Jammu, June 25: Even four months after forwarding 396 posts of Assistant Professors and Physical Training Instructors (PTIs) in government colleges to the J&K Public Service Commission, the Higher Education Department has not been able to finalize the recruitment rules.
According to details available with Early Times, the Higher Education Department in February 2021 had forwarded 396 posts, including 344 posts of Assistant Professors for Government Degree Colleges as well as 52 posts of Physical Training Instructors (PTIs) to JKPSC for making recruitments against the posts.
However after forwarding the posts, a letter was also forwarded by the Higher Education Department to JKPSC, asking them to withhold the selection process, since the recruitment rules would be finalized by the Higher Education Department. As per the letter forwarded to JKPSC, the Higher Education Department had maintained that the Department was in the process of finalizing the Gazetted Recruitment Rules, based on University Grants Commission (UGC) revised guidelines issued on 18/7/2018.
“In the letter which was forwarded in the last week of February 2021, it was claimed that the department was at the final stage of finalizing the recruitment rules but it has been more than four months the rules are yet to be finalized”, sources said.
An official of JKPSC, pleading anonymity said that the Commission is merely a recruitment agency and males recruitments as per the rules forwarded by the parent department. “Since last four months the JKPSC has been waiting for the rules from the Higher Education department”, the official said, adding. “The process will be set in motion once rules are forwarded to JKPSC,” the official said.
While criticizing the Higher Education Department, highly qualified unemployed youth said that since last many years they have been demanding that the Higher Education department should implement the UGC guidelines in totality but due to some unknown reasons, the successive heads of the departments have failed to do so. “Many youth have crossed the upper age limit to fill forms for APs”, he said, adding that if there is more delay in the finalization of recruitment rules by the department it would push many more towards crossing the prescribed age limit. |
