[BREAKING] Supreme Court bench headed by Justice UU Lalit to pronounce judgment in the 69,000 assistant teacher (Shiksha Mitra) recruitment case of 2019 today at 10.30 am
The core issue was the challenge by #ShikshaMitras to the Uttar Pradesh government's order of January 7, 2019, by which the qualifying marks for the Assistant Teacher Recruitment Examination 2019 were fixed at 65 and 60 for the General and Reserved categories respectively.
This notification of increased cut-off marks was issued a day after the exam was held.
The Allahabad HC had confirmed state govt’s decision to keep higher cut-off marks for the recruitment of 69,000 teachers in primary schools of the state. After that, the path of recruitment of assistant teachers in the Basic Education Council schools in the state was cleared.
