Yogi government releases UP Education Service Selection Commission guidelines

A notice on the regulations of the Uttar Pradesh Education Service Selection Commission (UPESSC), which is in charge of hiring teachers in the state, was issued by the Yogi Adityanath-led Uttar Pradesh government.

According to an official statement, the regulations state that applicants who are asked for interviews based on written examinations must get at least 40% of the possible points in order to be considered for the position of teacher or instructor.

They may, however, only be awarded a maximum of 90% of the possible points in the interview. According to the statement, this commission will administer exams to hire teachers for basic, secondary, and higher education as well as vocational education and assisted minority institutions in the state.

The number of applicants to be interviewed on one board in a day and the number of boards to be held each day will be determined by the Examination Committee based on the candidates who passed the written test.

Additionally, three to five times as many applicants will be contacted for interviews from the pool of those who passed the written test (as determined by the Commission). Those that meet the final cutoff points will get invitations to interviews.

The commission will publish a merit list based on the combination of the written test and interview scores for teaching and instructor posts where interviews are required. If there is only a written test, the commission will create a merit list panel solely using the marks from the written exam, according to the statement.In the event that many candidates have comparable qualifications, the written test scores will be given precedence.

The scores from the interview will be taken into consideration if the marks from the written test are equally equivalent. The greatest percentage of eligibility (JRF, NET, PhD) will be taken into consideration if both marks are identical. If they remain equal, the postgraduate scores will be taken into consideration last. According to the press release, the applicant with the greater age will be given preference if their percentage marks in the written test, interview, and required eligibility are the same.

A different procedure will be used to find a replacement if the candidate chosen by the Commission is unable to start work at the designated organization because of poor hiring practices, the appointment of a dependent of an employee who passed away while on the job, an order from the Supreme Court or High Court, or the termination of the position.

The chosen applicant must send their application to the Director along with a justification for declining the position. The Director will hold the institution or appointing body responsible for issuing the wrong demand and will suggest to the Commission that the chosen applicant be adjusted after thoroughly reviewing the application.

The press statement also said that the Commission will modify the chosen candidate in light of the Director’s findings and suggestions.
