GUWAHATI: A special recruitment drive to regularize the posts of contractual teachers has been going on. During the drive, 62 applications were found with duplicity in the verification process.

The re-verification of 5,704 applications of contractual teacher candidates was held off due to certain reasons. Now, the re-verification has been completed. Out of the 5,704 applications, the re-verification of 5,620 applications, including 766 from the Sixth Schedule Areas, has been cleared.

However, 62 applications were removed from the list due to duplicity. The appointment letters of the candidates, whose re-verification was cleared, have been uploaded on the website dee.assam.gov.in by the Directorate of Elementary Education (DEE).
