Universities’ recruitment board shaping up to root out corruption and nepotism

The State Government is preparing guidelines for the Common Recruitment Board to be created to fill up the 1,892 vacancies it plans to fill up in 11 universities after Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao announced that recruitments for teaching and non-teaching posts will be done through the Board only.

With the announcement, the CM had also ruled out giving the selection job to the Telangana State Public Service Commission (TSPSC), which was earlier thought of. It also means that individual universities will not be entrusted with the responsibility of recruitment after this practice threw up allegations of corruption and inordinate delay due to legal issues.

A senior official revealed to The Hindu on condition of anonymity that Chief Secretary Somesh Kumar will finalise the Centralised Recruitment Board constitution and its guidelines as directed by the Cabinet.
