Notice issued to candidate for applying for guest lecturer post under two names

The Department of Collegiate Education has issued notice to a candidate who attempted to secure guest lecturer positions in a Government First Grade Colleges by submitting applications under two different names and in two different categories, but with the same Aadhaar number, email address, phone number etc.

While under one application he claimed to meet the University Grant Commission (UGC) eligibility criteria such as National Eligibility Test (NET) and Ph.D., he also applied under non-UGC criteria under another name. He participated in the selection process via Webex login (in-camera) by posing as a UGC-qualified candidate. After securing the guest lecturer position, he did not report to the college, and instead sought that the department assign him a post under the non-UGC cadre under a different name.

The Commissioner has disqualified the candidate and issued a notice seeking reply within seven days. The department is also investigating other such possible duplications.
