Punjab Educator Policy 2025 – Quota for Disabled Candidates
| Category | Details |
|---|---|
| Quota Allocation | 2% of total allocated posts in each category are reserved for disabled candidates. |
| Separate Merit List | Inter-se merit of disabled candidates will be prepared separately. |
| Eligibility Criteria | Same as general candidates (academic & professional qualifications, age limit, local residence, and teaching experience). |
| Priority in Selection | Qualified disabled candidates will be given their first priority regardless of their merit list position for the concerned school. |
| Application Process | Must apply using the same Annexure-H form but must indicate disability status and attach a valid disability certificate from a competent authority. |
| Ineligibility | Blind, deaf, and dumb candidates are not eligible to apply under this quota. |
| Required Abilities | Candidates must be fit for the teaching profession, able to read, write, and use the blackboard. |
What is Inter-se Merit for Disabled Candidates
Inter-se merit refers to the relative ranking of candidates within a specific category based on their performance in the selection criteria. It determines the order of preference among candidates who belong to the same quota or group.
For example, in the Punjab Educator Policy 2025, a separate inter-se merit list will be prepared for disabled candidates. This means that disabled applicants will only compete among themselves, and their ranking will be based on their academic qualifications, test scores, and other selection criteria, just like general candidates.
let’s say there are 100 teaching positions, and 2% (2 seats) are reserved for disabled candidates. Now, assume 10 disabled candidates apply. Even though they are not competing with general candidates, they still need to compete among themselves for those 2 reserved seats. Their ranking will be based on:
- Education (marks in degrees)
- Test scores
- Experience (if applicable)
The top 2 candidates from this separate list will be selected. This ranking system is called inter-se merit. It ensures fairness within a reserved category.
