The 2024 applicants for the Lower Primary (LP) teaching posts in South Garo Hills have expressed disappointment over the prolonged and unexplained delay in the recruitment process.
In a letter to the Education Department, the MTET passed candidates and applicants said the original advertisement for 28 posts was released nearly a year ago. However, there has been no progress or official communication regarding the interview process till date, they said.
“This inordinate delay has caused considerable hardship, emotional stress, and uncertainty. Despite this, the candidates have remained cooperative, patient, and respectful of the process. However, the prolonged silence and administrative inaction have become unacceptable, they said.
Stating that there may be attempts to initiate a fresh recruitment process, bypassing the unresolved 2024 advertisement, the candidates said if there is any attempt to do away with the earlier recruitment it would amount to a breach of administrative fairness and a violation of natural justice.
“This is a serious concern and would be compelled to consider appropriate steps, including legal or public redressal mechanisms, to seek transparency and accountability from the concerned authorities. The delay has not only eroded trust in the system but has also jeopardized the professional aspirations of many qualified candidates, they added.
