Many discrepancies in TET results, claim candidates
Ranchi: Hundreds of Teacher Eligibility Test-qualified candidates protested at the Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission (JSSC) office in Namkum on Monday under the banner of TET Safal Sahayak Adhyapak Sangh alleging discrepancies in the recently published document verification (DV) list for the recruitment of 5,008 mathematics and science teachers for classes VI to VIII. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The protesters, many of whom travelled from remote districts of the state, claimed that despite meeting all eligibility criteria and securing the qualifying marks, their names were unjustifiably excluded from the DV list released on June 6. Meena Kumari, women president of the Sangh, said, "We followed every instruction, took the exams seriously, and qualified in all four papers. Still, our names are missing." They said the exclusion affected hundreds of candidates who cleared all the papers as per the final answer key-cum-response sheet, which was released on April 20. State coordinator of the Sangh, Simanta Ghosal, said, "As per recruitment rules, a minimum of 40% marks in papers 2, 3, and 4 is required for eligibility. However, despite fulfilling this criterion, many deserving candidates were omitted." Another concern raised by the protesting teachers is related to JSSC's affidavit submitted in the Jharkhand high court in which the commission assured that 6,000 candidates would be called for DV against 5,000 posts. But as per the notice, only 2,734 candidates have been shortlisted. Member of the Sangh, Jitendra Prasad, said, "JSSC gave a written commitment in court to call 6,000 candidates. Now they've called less than half of that. How can we trust the process?" The protestors further alleged that candidates with lower marks have been shortlisted and have demanded an explanation from JSSC about the criteria adopted for shortlisting DV candidates. The Sangh has also submitted a formal representation to minister of water and sanitation department, Yogendra Prasad, with their demands. Education minister Ramdas Soren said, "It is the responsibility of JSSC to conduct examinations fairly, but if such allegations are being raised, we will look into the matter to understand what is going on."
