The Captain Amarinder Singh-led government on Thursday decided to revert to Punjab Public Service Commission (PPSC), Patiala, for recruitment of 81 posts of Junior Engineer in the Engineering Wing of the Rural Development & Panchayats Department.
The state government had earlier taken these posts out of PPSC purview and engaged Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology [TIET], Patiala, for recruitment. This was as per the one-time measure approved at the Cabinet meeting on January 31, 2020, for engaging Thapar University, Patiala, or Maharaja Ranjit Singh University, Bathinda, one of the independent agencies as notified by Department of Co-ordination.
TIET could not, however, hold the written test due to Covid. Subsequently, the Finance Department notified new pay scales on July 17, 2020, and the process of recruitment through TIET, Patiala, was put in abeyance.
