Thiruvananthapuram: A special recruitment board will be constituted to recruit potential candidates to various public sector institutions in Kerala. The recruitments will be adopted first in institutions under the Department of Industries. It is worth noting that vacancies that do not fall under the purview of the Public Service Commission (PSC) will be considered by the recruitment board.
The board will be making appointments to various posts, including managing directors in 51 institutions. For this purpose, every public sector organization started preparing by-laws for the appointment by determining the available posts and qualifications required. The Recruitment Board will come into existence once the Rules of Operation are sanctioned.
The government issued an ordinance on June 3 establishing a recruitment board for non-PSC recruitment in government institutions. This includes appointments to Public Sector Undertakings, Corporations, Government Controlled Companies, Boards and Body Corporate. In future, appointments in KIIFBI will also come under the board.
