Sir, I have applied for the post of GFC Teacher in VHSE through PSC. PSC has rejected my application on the ground that my M Com Degree is not acquired through regular course I have acquired the M Com Degree through Private Registration and so to say i have attended a tutorial college for the purpose of learning. I have also obtained a certificate from the university that the private study and regular study is of the same duration and same syllabus (Note 1. in the concerned order - Link: http://kstakerala.in/wp-content/uploads/downloads/2014/05/special_rules_vo1-vhse.pdf. No clarification on what private study/regular course is) Contrary to this Higher Secondary Education Dept demands on B Ed through regualr course.
