The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- The Uttar Pradesh government has told the Supreme Court that the 67,867 teachers selected in 2020 for primary schools will not lose their jobs, even though the High Court in August 2024 ordered a fresh merit list for the 69,000-post recruitment.
- The government has submitted a list of 8,270 candidates who are entitled under the new merit list but remain unemployed, and proposes to accommodate them on supernumerary posts or existing vacancies.
- It has also asked that this arrangement be treated as a one-time exception for this recruitment only, not a precedent for future exams.
- The plan still needs the court's final approval, along with budget and verification steps for the new posts.
What to watch next
- Whether the Supreme Court accepts the government's formula and gives final approval
- Arrangement of budget and verification for the 8,270 supernumerary posts
- Whether the no-removal promise holds once the revised merit list is prepared
