HTET : JBT teacher recruitment under HC scanner

The recruitment of over 9,000 junior basic trained (JBT) teachers by the Haryana government has come under the Punjab and Haryana High Court scanner after a preliminary enquiry held that candidates impersonated, forged and cheated during the examinations, last year.

The enquiry was brought to the knowledge of the Court on Thursday during the resumed hearing of a petition filed by an unsuccessful candidate. The petitioner had alleged that signatures of candidates, obtained on the application form for the State Teacher Eligibility Test (STET), did not match with the signatures on the respective answer sheets.

Taking stock of the accusations, the High Court last year had ordered an enquiry, findings of which were submitted before the Court on Thursday. After perusing the report, the court ruled that a detailed probe needed to be held.

The teachers were selected and given postings by the Haryana government last year. The detailed probe will be held by the Education Board and Deputy Commissioner, Bhiwani
