Legislative Assembly
National Capital Territory of Delhi

“The Legislative Assembly of NCT of Delhi Having its sitting in Delhi on 30 June, 2017 Taking note of the fact that due to the overwhelming response from neighbouring states of Delhi, local aspirants for teaching positions struggle to find employment as teachers in the state from which they completed their graduation. Also noting that Universities in Delhi have a strong academic rigour, resulting in candidates graduating from Delhi scoring lower grades than counterparts from other states. Expressing concern that as a result of the aforementioned challenges, residents of Delhi are at a considerable disadvantage while being considered for appointment as teachers in schools run by Directorate of Education. Dismayed that residents of Delhi are also at a disadvantage for recruitment as guest teachers owing to the aforementioned reasons. Opines that for all future recruitment, whether for permanent teachers through the DSSSB, or for Guest Teachers through open applications and merit list, preference be given to candidates graduating from Universities in Delhi. Resolves that the Directorate of Education must ensure 85% quota for permanent and Guest Teacher positions, for candidates graduating from Universities in Delhi in future recruitments.”
