Job seekers in Bihar are urging the state government to announce the notification for the fourth phase of the Teachers Recruitment Exam (TRE-4) within the next 24 hours. They have threatened to gherao the residence of the state education minister if their demands are not met. The urgency reflects the aspirants’ concerns over the delay in the recruitment process, which they believe is affecting their career prospects.
Research scholars and job aspirants have been protesting in Patna’s Gardanibagh area over a multitude of issues, including new rules on recruitment of assistant professors and inconsistencies in the state civil services exam. On Tuesday, teaching job aspirants began their protest, demanding a single-tier examination in BPSC-TRE 4, strict action against those who got jobs through corrupt practices, transparency in BSSC recruitments, and action against exam mafias. “The government should release notification for the BPSC TRE-4 exam within 24 hours.
Else, we may gherao the residence of Bihar education minister seeking his resignation,” student leader Dilip Kumar said. Vibha Rani, an assistant guest professor at Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar Bihar University in Muzaffarpur, who was one among the delegates who met Kumar, said the “government has become rigid and is behaving like a monarch” by ignoring protesters’ demands.
