Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath gave these instructions in the meeting
The state government is committed to protect the interests of the youth. Every youth’s hard work, merit and talent is respected. Anarchic activities like paper leak or solver gang cannot be accepted at all. Such strict action should be taken against every criminal involved in such crime, which should set an example. In such cases, it is necessary to bring in a strict law to take action against the criminals. In view of this, necessary action should be taken as soon as possible.
Selection commissions are expected to issue the calendar for recruitment examinations on time and strictly follow it. Candidates face inconvenience due to not holding the examination as per the calendar, this should be kept in mind.
All selection commissions should ensure in mutual coordination that only one examination is conducted in a day. On one hand, this will make it easier for the exam organizers/local administration to make arrangements, while on the other hand, it will be a great convenience for the youth.
Information has been received about discrepancies regarding ‘equivalent qualification’ in determining educational qualification for certain posts. The concerned department should resolve the issue and provide correct information to the commission.
For the selection examinations, only government secondary, degree colleges, universities, polytechnics, engineering colleges, medical colleges or reputed well-equipped and well-financed educational institutions with a clean track record should be made centers. The centers will be where CCTV arrangements are available. Also ensure that the examination centers are in urban areas only. While determining the examination centre, the expectations of women and disabled persons should be kept in mind.
If an aided college is made a centre, then the concerned manager should not be involved in the examination system in any way. The principal of another institute should be given the responsibility as the centre administrator. The District Magistrate and District School Inspector should also be associated with the system. If there is any irregularity, their responsibility will also be fixed.
Recently, the Education Service Commission has been formed, making major improvements in the process of teacher selection in primary, secondary, technical, vocational etc. educational institutions. Its members have been nominated, the appointment of the chairman will also be done as soon as possible. The newly formed commission is expected to start the selection process on time.
There is a need for comprehensive improvement in the entire system, including the process of setting papers, their printing, delivering them to the treasury, delivering them from the treasury to the examination centres, arrangements for the examination centre, delivering OMRs to the commission after the examination, scanning of OMRs, preparing the results. Use different agencies for different tasks. Give responsibility only after thoroughly checking the records of the agency.
There should be 02 or more paper sets in every shift. Printing of question paper of each set should be done through different agencies. Paper coding also needs to be further organized. Women personnel must be deployed for searching.
In view of purity and confidentiality, the selection commissions should remain in touch with the top officials of the government level and STF before, during and after the examination.
This process of necessary improvement regarding the purity of examinations has to be brought into effect immediately. The Appointment and Personnel Department should get it implemented as soon as possible by contacting the selection commissions.
For ease in the appointment process, the system of e-requisition has been implemented, use it. All departments should examine the rules thoroughly before sending the requisition for appointment. There should be no unnecessary delay in the recruitment process.
