Ministry of Education has said that reservation in Central Educational Institutions is provided for all the posts in direct recruitment in Teacher’s cadre as per the Central Educational Institutions (Reservation in Teachers’ Cadre) Act, 2019.
In a social media post, the Ministry said that after enactment of this Act, no reserved post is to be de-reserved. The Ministry added that it has given directives to all the Central Educational Institutions to fill up the vacancies strictly as per the Act.
Amid a controversy over UGC’s draft guidelines on filling of reserved posts in higher education institutes, Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Sunday clarified that not a single post will be de-reserved.
Pradhan said there is no scope of ambiguity in reservations after introduction of the Central Educational Institutions (Reservation in Teachers’ Cadre) Act, 2019.
“Not a single reserved post will be de-reserved. There is no scope for ambiguity after the Central Educational Institutions (Reservation in Teachers’ Cadre) Act, 2019,” Pradhan told PTI.
