Education commissioner Sachindra Pratap Singh confirmed that the system is being updated to accommodate eligible candidates. He stated that the facility is now available to those who previously faced technical difficulties, allowing them to generate and lock their job preferences.
The ongoing second phase of recruitment is based on the results of the '
Teacher Aptitude and Intelligence Test 2022
'.
Initially, candidates were allowed to fill in and lock their preferences for vacant teaching posts via the Pavitra Portal between April 25 and May 2 this year.
"However, it was later discovered that several candidates, especially those not appointed in the first phase, were unable to access the preference-setting feature due to technical issues," said Singh.
These candidates, despite having verified documents, were left without the means to participate in the second phase.
Following complaints and concerns from affected individuals, the education department took corrective steps to address the matter.
Singh confirmed that the system is being updated to accommodate eligible candidates. Furthermore, school managements have been given until 5pm on Monday to rectify any errors and upload recruitment advertisements for entry-level teaching positions on the Pavitra Portal.
Once these new listings are live, the priority selection feature will be accessible to qualified candidates for an additional three days.
"This move is expected to benefit many aspiring teachers who were earlier left out of the process due to system errors, ensuring a more inclusive and transparent recruitment procedure," added Singh.

Ludhiana: Sale of long-duration paddy varieties' seeds banned in Punjab
To protect groundwater and reduce environmental pollution, the Punjab government has imposed a ban on the sale and sowing of long-duration paddy varieties such as Pusa 44 and certain hybrid seeds. The decision follows a recommendation from Punjab Agricultural University (PAU), Ludhiana, and aims to curb the growing water crisis and air pollution caused by stubble burning. Chief agriculture officer of Ludhiana, Gurdeep Singh, said that these long-duration paddy varieties require more water and often face harvesting delays due to changing weather conditions. This not only creates problems at the time of marketing the crop but also affects the timely sowing of wheat. As a result, many farmers are forced to burn stubble to clear fields quickly, which severely pollutes the air. He explained that such varieties are proving harmful to both water and air quality. If their cultivation continues, future generations may not have access to clean air or sufficient underground water. He appealed to farmers to act responsibly and choose more sustainable crop varieties for the sake of the environment and public health. Dr Singh urged farmers not to transplant seedlings of Pusa 44 or hybrid varieties if already sown in nurseries. Instead, they should opt for recommended short-duration varieties like PR 126, PR 131, and PR 132. These mature faster, require less water, are less prone to pests and diseases, and are more profitable in the long run. He reassured that these varieties are easily available in the market and supported by the government. The agriculture officer also warned that farmers trying to sell or market banned paddy varieties like Pusa 44 may face challenges during procurement. He encouraged them to cooperate in this collective effort to preserve Punjab's natural resources for a healthier and more secure future.
