New Delhi: Nearly three years after recruitment was announced for English teachers in Delhi govt schools, candidates say they are still waiting for school allotments.They allege that delays first at Delhi Subordinate Services Selection Board and later at Directorate of Education (DoE) have prolonged the process, leaving them without a firm timeline for postings.The board advertised the trained graduate teacher posts in Jan 2024 as part of a combined recruitment for DoE and New Delhi Municipal Council. The official schedule listed the exam on Aug 24, 30 and 31, 2025. The board issued the result on July 28, 2026, and a corrigendum on Aug 5. Candidates said the directorate conducted document verification in Sept 2026 and alleged that school allotments had since been pending.Candidates said they had sought updates through Right to Information applications, emails, letters and visits to the department, but officials repeatedly told them verbally to expect progress the following week and that they were still waiting for a written schedule. With CBSE’s board exams approaching, the candidates questioned why the department had yet to complete the postings.They claimed that the prolonged wait had affected nearly 800 candidates, leaving them uncertain about their careers and causing distress to them and their families. The candidates described the delay as bureaucratic inaction and alleged that officials had failed to discharge their duties promptly. They urged DoE to complete the procedure.TOI didn’t get any response from the education department.
