How does the reservation policy apply to differently-abled candidates in HP TGT recruitment ?

Greetings from Bansal Academy!

In HP TGT (Himachal Pradesh Trained Graduate Teacher) recruitment, the reservation policy is designed to provide equal opportunities to candidates from various categories, including differently-abled candidates. The application of the reservation policy for differently-abled candidates typically follows the guidelines set by the government and the examination conducting authority. Here's how the reservation policy generally applies:

1. Reservation Categories:

   • Differently-abled candidates fall under the category of Persons with Disabilities (PwD). The reservation policy may have specific provisions for different types of disabilities, such as visual impairment, hearing impairment, locomotor disability, etc.

2. Percentage of Reservation:

   • The reservation percentage for differently-abled candidates is usually defined by the government or the relevant authority. It may vary based on the type and severity of the disability. Commonly, a certain percentage of vacancies is reserved for PwD candidates.

3. Identification of Disabilities:

   • The specific disabilities that are considered for reservation are clearly defined. Candidates are required to provide appropriate certificates or documentation confirming their disability, issued by competent medical authorities.

4. Eligibility Criteria:

   • Differently-abled candidates must fulfill the essential eligibility criteria for HP TGT positions. This includes educational qualifications, age limits, and any other criteria specified in the official recruitment notification.

5. Relaxation in Age:

   • There may be relaxations in the upper age limit for differently-abled candidates as per the government norms. This is to ensure that candidates with disabilities have sufficient opportunities to apply for and secure teaching positions.

6. Special Provisions:

   • The recruitment process may include special provisions for differently-abled candidates, such as additional time during examinations, scribes, or any other reasonable accommodations required for a fair and equal opportunity.

It's important for candidates to refer to the official recruitment notification and guidelines released by the examination conducting authority for accurate and detailed information about the reservation policy. The official notification will specify the percentage of reservation, types of disabilities considered, and the documentation required.
