Prayagraj: Scores of competitive exam aspirants staged a protest at the Uttar Pradesh Secondary Education Service Selection Board (UPSESSB) office in Prayagraj on Tuesday demanding clarity on the long-pending TGT (Trained Graduate Teacher) and PGT (Post Graduate Teacher) examinations.
The demonstration was organised in response to repeated postponements of the 2022 recruitment exams, originally announced in June 2022 for 4,163 posts, including 3,539 TGT and 624 PGT vacancies in aided secondary schools across the state. The PGT exam was deferred three times and the TGT exam twice.
While the TGT exam is tentatively scheduled on July 21 and 22, the dates for the PGT examination, initially proposed for late Aug, are yet to be officially confirmed.
Protesters raised slogans demanding transparency, timely examinations and accountability from the board.
A delegation of students also submitted an eight-point memorandum to the board officials. Controller of Examinations, DP Singh, said: "The commission is in touch with the govt and soon things will be clearer."
The aspirants put forward several key demands, including the immediate announcement of new advertisements for TGT-PGT recruitment, finalisation and declaration of exam dates for the recruitment cycle, non-BEd candidates should be allowed to appear for the PGT examination, and prompt declaration of written exam results under Advertisement No. 51 for assistant professors, etc.
They warned of intensifying their agitation if their concerns are not addressed in a timely manner.
A group of aspirants of LT grade and staff nurse also met the UPPSC officials on Tuesday.

'Lack of Cooperation from UPPSC': CBI warns of closing probe into APS 2010 recruitment

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has warned of closing its inquiry into alleged irregularities in the Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission's (UPPSC) additional private secretary (APS) 2010 recruitment, citing prolonged non-cooperation from the commission. In a letter dated May 26 to Uttar Pradesh chief secretary Manoj Kumar Singh, CBI director Praveen Sood said the commission had failed to provide necessary permissions and documents despite repeated requests. He stated that if no progress is made within 30 days, the agency may have to consider closing the investigation due to a lack of required support. The CBI initiated the probe following orders from the UP government on September 4, 2018, and the Centre on January 15, 2019. The agency found prima facie evidence under the Prevention of Corruption Act against three UPPSC officials, the then system analyst Girish Goyal, section officer Vinod Kumar Singh, and review officer Lal Bahadur Patel. However, the commission has yet to grant sanction to proceed with an investigation against these officials. Letters requesting permission were first sent on August 23, 2021, and again on June 9, 2022. Meanwhile, multiple reminders for related documents, most recently in March, April, and May this year, remain unanswered. While some documents were shared on July 15, 2023, April 21, 2024, and January 1, 2025, the CBI said key records are still awaited. In the absence of these, investigators are unable to proceed further, nor question suspects or candidates. Sood requested the chief secretary to personally intervene and direct the UPPSC chairman to provide the required clearances and complete documentation without further delay. The CBI also said several related matters are pending before the Allahabad high court, and the agency is expected to submit status reports periodically.

BJP proved to be failure in Haryana: Hooda

Former Haryana chief minister (CM) Bhupinder Singh Hooda on Thursday said that the BJP, which has been in power for the last 11 years, has proved to be a failure. He said that neither the BJP led central government gave any major project to Haryana, nor the BJP led state government could get any major project from the central government. 'The double engine in Haryana has proved to be a complete failure,'' Hooda said. The former CM said that Congress governments had built a new health university, six new medical colleges (Karnal, Mewat, Khanpur, Mahendragarh, Bhiwani, Faridabad), AIIMS-2 and National Cancer Institute. 'Along with this, 10 national super specialty institutes were approved in AIIMS-2 and 641 new rural hospitals CPC-PHC were built in the state. The fee for MBBS was kept at just ₹40,000, but the BJP government increased it to ₹40 lakh,'' Hooda maintained. The BJP government, the Congress leader said, did not build a single medical college or university in the state during its 11 year rule. All the super speciality institutes approved along with AIIMS were also cancelled, he said. Hooda said the Congress government built Central University Mahendragarh and 12 new government universities. About 154 new polytechnic colleges and 56 new ITI and four new government engineering colleges were opened during Congress's tenure. 'The foundation stone of Indian National Defence University was laid in Gurgaon. 2,623 new schools were built, a new Sainik School was set up at Rewari, six new Kendriya Vidyalayas were built. More than one lakh jobs were given in the education department which includes 25,000 JBT, 25,000 TGT-PGT, and other school staff, 'he said, adding that on the other hand not a single central university, any big government university, polytechnic, ITI, engineering college was opened in Haryana during the BJP rule. Talking about employment, he said the Congress gave more than two lakh government jobs in its nine and a half years of tenure in the state. Hooda pointed out that Haryana has become number one in unemployment, (according to the Government of India data), during BJP rule. Talking about industry, Hooda said six new IMTs were built in the state during the Congress tenure, and big industries like Maruti, Asian Paints, NTPC, Reliance, Honda, IOC, Panasonic, Yokohama, Denso were established in the state. 'The BJP did not establish a single IMT in its entire tenure. Not a single big investment came. Due to increasing crime, an atmosphere of terror was created in the industry and small and big industries migrated from here. Projects like approved rail coach factory, international airport were shifted out of Haryana. Due to this, the state became the number one state in the country in unemployment, crime, drug addiction, migration, corruption,' Hooda said.
