Board fails to complete recruitment process

Chandigarh: More than a year after it first advertised for posts of Assistant Engineers, JEs and Substation Attendants, the PSEB is still to complete the process of recruitment. It had advertised for the posts of 125 Assistant Engineers, 225 JEs and 200 posts of SSA in December 2008 and last date for receipt of applications was fixed in January 2009. However, the date was extended to February 27 and further to March 31.

The last date for submission of applications was extended again to May 2009 and then to August 2009. The exams were held on September 13 and result declared in October. But even after four months, letters of appointment have not been issued to successful candidates. Sources claim that now new candidates were being called for verification of documents at this belated stage causing concern amongst shortlisted candidates, who fear they might be discriminated against.
