This Tuesday, In a cabinet meeting chaired by the Chief Minister of Bihar approved a proposal to remove domicile based reservation for recruitment of teachers in state government schools.
Earlier, there was provision to recruit only Bihar based candidates for teaching jobs in state run schools.
However, the same provision was canceled yesterday.
Giving information to the media, the Additional Chief Secretary (ACS) in Cabinet Secretariat, S Siddharth said, Now there is no domicile based reservation for recruitment of teachers in Bihar Government Schools.
Which means, candidates from any state of India can now apply to become teachers in Bihar government schools.
BPSC organizing the Recruitment Process to fill 1.78 lakh Posts
Back in May this year, the Bihar government passed the proposal of the education department to recruit 1.78 lakh teachers for the state-run schools.
These teachers will teach the students of primary, middle and upper middle classes.
The state-run agency, BPSC, is organizing the recruitment process.
The online application submission was started on June 15 and the last date to submit the application was July 12.
However, after this decision, the last date to submit the application will also be extended.
Teachers Appointed After 2006 will have to Pass this Exam
The state government has clearly said that teachers appointed through panchayati raj institutions and urban local bodies since 2006 will also have to pass this examination to become a government employee.
Otherwise, they will get a pay hike but not the status of a new lot.
Now, most of the teachers appointed since 2006 have boycotted this examination.
The result is, the number of applications is not quite high.
Seems like that’s the reason the state government has removed domicile based reservation from the recruitment process.
Let’s see what is the future of this recruitment process. In the meanwhile, let me know your comments below.
