ORDER:
In para 2(viii) of the G.O. first read above, it was ordered that the minimum qualification required to hold the post of Junior Assistant in the Heads of Departments/ Directorates is Degree and in subordinate offices Intermediate and that the candidates for compassionate appointment who do not possess the said qualification can be considered for appointment, if they possess atleast intermediates/ tenth class qualification respectively by giving reasonable time to acquire higher qualification prescribed under rules to hold such post.
2. In the reference 2nd cited, the Collector, Nizamabad has stated that a number of candidates are getting appointed as Junior Assistants without possessing the minimum educational qualification and it is likely that they will not be able to acquire the Intermediate qualification within one year allowed for this purpose and that the posts of Junior Assistants are likely to be saddled with candidate who do not possess the minimum qualification. He has therefore, suggested that the practice of making such conditional appointments be reviewed.
3. Government have examined the above proposal. The minimum qualification required to hold the post of Junior Assistant in Heads of Departments/ Directorates and Secretariat is Degree while in sub-ordinate offices it is Intermediate. It is considered necessary to prescribe a time limit for acquisition of the minimum educational qualification prescribed under the rules to hold such posts by the candidates appointed under compassionate grounds.
4. Government accordingly direct that a minimum period of 3 years to acquire Intermediate qualification and 5 years for acquisition of Degree qualification be allowed in respect of candidates appointed to the posts of Junior Assistants in the subordinate offices and Heads of Departments and Secretariat Departments as the case may be. The period should be reckoned from the date of appointment of individual concerned.
