Allow Kalyana Karnataka candidates to apply for RPC posts, says lecturers’ association
The Karnataka State Pre-University College Lecturers’ Association is demanding that candidates from the Kalyana Karnataka region be allowed to apply for both local and general (RPC) posts. They argue that current recruitment rules unfairly restrict these candidates despite their special constitutional status.
Why it matters
This highlights the complexities of implementing regional reservation policies and the administrative challenges in state-level recruitment processes.
The Karnataka State Pre-University College Lecturers’ Association has urged the State government to allow eligible candidates from the Kalyana Karnataka region to apply for Residual Parent Cadre (RPC) posts along with posts reserved for the Kalyana Karnataka region in the direct recruitment of Group-A principals.
The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) has invited applications for 247 Group-A principal posts, of which 216 are under RPC (Non-Kalyana Karnataka) and 31 posts under the Kalyana Karnataka Local Cadre, the association said.
Addressing a press conference in Kalaburagi city on Tuesday, association district president N.T. Rangoli said the KEA invited applications on September 7 from eligible lecturers working under the School Education Department (PU) for direct recruitment to Group-A principal posts.
