Govt's decision to make all PTTs sit for Examination

An ominous dark night looms large over the fates of all the existing PT, Guest & Contractual lecturers of the State with the State Govt's gruesome decision, in accordance with the consent of the Governor, that:

1.All existing PTTs who have attained the age of 45 yrs, with an experience of 15 yrs, will have to sit for an examination conducted by the State Govt, to prove their eligibility, as college teachers, though they would get a relaxation in terms of marks, due to their, age & experience. However, present monthly remuneration of such teachers will be doubled.

2.All existing PTTs with NET/SET/Phd, will also have to appear at the aforesaid examination,though they would get a relaxation in terms of marks, due to their qualification. However, such candidates already had a relaxation in CSC, due to their qualification. Therefore candidates already with an UGC approved qualification, will again have to prove their eligibility, as college PTTs!

3.All other existing PTTs, will also have to appear at this examination, & needless to say, they will not be entitled to any relaxation, of any kind.

4.All existing Guest & Contractual lecturers will likewise have to appear at the aforesaid examination, to prove their eligibility.

Thus it is evident that the Govt is strategically planning to entrap all existing PT, Guest & Contractual lecturers of the state, in a vicious web. The aforesaid examination, if started, will throw the fates of thousands of PT & allied teachers of the state, in the hands of the Sate Govt, & these hapless teachers will totally be at the mercy of the Govt, irrespective of their age, experience & qualification.
