Hyderabad: The unemployed youth and government job aspirants will have to wait a little longer for recruitment notifications to be rolled out by the State government.
The District Selection Committee (DSC), along with other recruitment notifications in different departments, are not likely to materialise anytime soon as hiring is linked to ongoing SC sub-classification and impending elections in the State.
The State government had announced plans to fill up 6,000 teacher vacancies via the DSC besides scheduling it in the job calendar with notification in the month of February. This created a lot of hopes among the job aspirants. However, according to sources, the DSC recruitment will only be taken up after the ongoing SC sub-classification concludes and the government comes up with a new reservation policy.
In the wake of the recent Supreme Court’s ruling in favor of implementing SC classification in the country, the State government constituted a one-man commission headed by Shameem Akhtar on the sub-classification. The government had decided to implement the SC sub-classification in education and government job recruitment in the State.
Presently, as for education and jobs, 15 percent is reserved for SC, 6 percent for STs, 29 percent for BCs and the remaining 50 percent is under open competition.
Moreover, elections to two teacher and one graduate MLC positions and local bodies have been impending in the State. The local bodies have been running with the special officers since last February, as the State government has not conducted elections to local bodies in March due to general elections.
There is a buzz in the political circles that local bodies elections could be held in the month of February. This will be followed by two teacher and one graduate MLC elections.
It is pointed out that once the election schedule is announced, the model code of conduct comes into force in the State and the recruitment notifications cannot be issued until the code is lifted.
