Prayagraj: Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission (UPPSC) would be inviting applications for recruitment against 3,055 vacant posts of various departments in the next two months. This includes 174 posts of dental surgeons.
The commission has not started the process because of some dispute over the equivalency of academic qualifications. Correspondence over this is being held with additional under secretary (recruitment) for the determination of academic qualification equivalence for recruitments of LT grade (assistant teacher) in government-run schools, review officer and agriculture service etc recruitments. In an informal interaction with the media on Thursday, UPPSC chairman Sanjay Srinet said to avoid unnecessary controversy and confusion in recruitments, henceforth the rules of the department concerned will be mentioned in the advertisements being issued by the commission.
“This will reduce the delay caused owing to litigations over recruitments due to difference in the advertisement and rules of the department concerned,” he added.
