Appointment orders issued for Principals of Government First Grade Colleges

The State government has completed the recruitment of Principals for Government First Grade Colleges, which come under the Department of Collegiate Education, a process that had been pending for the last four years.

Out of the 310 Principal posts for which a recruitment notification was issued in 2022, appointment orders were issued to 222 candidates on Saturday, following the verification of their documents in the first phase.

The document verification process for the remaining candidates is currently under way, and steps are being taken to issue their appointment orders shortly.

“After assuming the role of Higher Education Minister, I prioritised this issue and gave strict instructions to the officials to ensure the recruitment process was completed with complete transparency. I am pleased that, having resolved all legal hurdles, we have issued appointment orders to 222 candidates as Principals,” said Higher Education Minister Basavaraj Rayaraddy.

He further said that all candidates who have received appointment orders will be given postings through a counselling process.
