ORDER

In para 2(viii) of the G.O. first read above, it was ordered that the minimum
qualification required to hold the post of Junior Assistant in the Heads of
Departments/ Directorates is Degree and in subordinate offices Intermediate and
that the candidates for compassionate appointment who do not possess the said
qualification can be considered for appointment, if they possess atleast
intermediates/ tenth class qualification respectively by giving reasonable time to
acquire higher qualification prescribed under rules to hold such post.

2. In the reference 2nd cited, the Collector, Nizamabad has stated that a number
of candidates are getting appointed as Junior Assistants with out possessing the
minimum educational qualification and it is likely that they will not be able to acquire
the Intermediate qualification within one year allowed for this purpose and that the
posts of Junior Assistants are likely to be saddled with candidate who do not
possess the minimum qualification. He has therefore, suggested that the practice of
making such conditional appointments be reviewed.

3. Government have examined the above proposal. The minimum qualification
required to hold the post of Junior Assistant in Heads of Departments/ Directorates
and Secretariat is Degree while in sub-ordinate offices it is Intermediate. It is
considered necessary to prescribe a time limit for acquisition of the minimum
educational qualification prescribed under the rules to hold such posts by the
candidates appointed under compassionate grounds.

4. Government accordingly direct that a minimum period of 3 years to acquire

Intermediate qualification and 5 years for acquisition of Degree qualification be
allowed in respect of candidates appointed to the posts of Junior Assistants in the
subordinate offices and Heads of Departments and Secretariat Departments as the
case may be. The period should be reckoned from the date of appointment of
individual concerned.
