For this, Establishment DPO Jamaluddin has issued a formal format of the subject wise sanctioned strength, working strength and vacant posts and class wise enrolled students from all the primary, secondary and higher secondary schools and has asked all the block education officers of the district to provide the complete details within three days.
The DPO has asked to provide these details to the District Education Department in hard copy along with e-mail. Six thousand six hundred teachers have passed the competency test. After counseling, all of them are going to become special teachers after joining the new school.
In the application, options of three districts were taken from these teachers
These teachers were given options of three districts while filling the form for competency test. These teachers have been allotted districts on the basis of marks obtained in competency test and reservation. These teachers will become special teachers from the date of school allocation and joining and they will also get the status of state employee. After becoming state employee, all the competency pass teachers will start getting all the facilities like regular teachers.
Counseling was delayed due to the code of conduct imposed during the Lok Sabha elections

But, in view of the model election code of conduct, the education department had sought permission from the state election office for counselling. But, permission for counselling was not granted.
