Appointments in varsities in Kerala left to PSC

Thiruvananthapuram: The LDF Government in
Kerala today decided to leave appointments in non-teaching
posts in all the universities in the state to Public
Service Commission (PSC).

The decision was taken by the state cabinet in view of
recent adverse court references over alleged corruption
and irregularities in appointments in universities.

“The directions of courts have also been taken into
account while taking this decision", Chief Minister
V S Achuthanandan told reporters.

Being autonomous institutions, it has been the practice of
universities make recruitments on their own to all posts.
However, largescale irregularities had been alleged in
tests conducted by some of the universities in the state.
