Imphal, January 19 2013 :
While it remain unknown to all what the recruitment rule will say, but many youths of the state are submitting application forms to take part in the recruitment of 2000 police constables in the State Police Department with certificates of National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS) issued after 2003 .
Mention may be made that Board of Secondary Education Manipur (BSEM) had issued an official notification in September 2003 derecognising the Secondary School Certificate of NIOS.
Following the notification, State Education Department had also notified that NIOS certificates issued after 2003 will not be valid for continuing higher study in the state.
However, in case of recruitments in government departments, recruitment rules imposed at the time of recruitment will determine whether to consider these certificates eligible or not.
Talking to Hueiyen Lanpao, some of the aspirants, who came to submit their application forms for the recruitment of police constables, pointed out that the recruitment notification has mentioned the requisite educational qualification as class X (ten) passed or equivalent only.
So, considering the notification, NIOS certificates should be valid for recruitment of police constables.
