UP Govt Introduces New Rules For Teacher Recruitment Through Unified Commission – News18

New rules have been introduced for teacher recruitment in Uttar Pradesh, following the recent approval of the formation of a new Education Service Selection Commission dedicated to teacher recruitment. The primary objective is to centralize teacher recruitment through a single commission. The issued notification outlines the rules and regulations of the Commission, specifying that teacher selection will involve a written examination and interview, with 90 per cent of the marks allocated to the examination and 10 per cent to the interview.

For examinations excluding interviews, selection will be based solely on the examination results. The newly established commission will oversee teacher recruitment across various education levels, including primary, secondary, higher education, minority colleges, and vocational education instructors in the state.

The recruitment process for teachers and instructors will include a 2-hour written examination with objective-type questions, conducted at district headquarters. Additionally, the recruitment of principals and assistant professors in degree colleges will involve both examinations and interviews.

As per the rules, if the selection process does not commence within three years of the advertisement, it can be cancelled. The selection of teachers in minority colleges will have a separate advertisement and an expert representative will be included in the interview board for their selection process.

In cases where the selected candidate is unable to assume the post due to faulty recruitment, appointment of a dependent of a deceased employee, or any court orders, a separate process will be initiated for their replacement. The selected candidate must submit an application explaining the reasons for not accepting the responsibility to the director. After a thorough investigation, the director will determine responsibility against the institution or appointing authority responsible for sending the requisition and submit a recommendation report to the commission for the adjustment of the selected candidate. Based on the director’s report and recommendation, the commission will facilitate the adjustment of the selected candidate.
