It was to have been held in October
The Teachers Recruitment Board will conduct the examination to fill the vacancies for faculty members at polytechnic colleges on December 8.
The online examination for the direct recruitment of lecturers (engineering/non-engineering) at government polytechnic colleges, which had been announced during 2017-18, were to have been held from October 28 to 31. But it was postponed after the government announced the date for downloading the admit cards.
On Wednesday, Higher Education Minister K. Ponmudi said the examination was rescheduled as many candidates had complained that they had been assigned to test centres in far-flung districts, questioning the decision in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The draft policy for “Responsible Digital Use Among Students”, released on Monday by the Department of Health and Family Welfare, has recommended that parents set structured routines with clear screen-time rules and prioritise privacy, safety, and open conversation with children on digital well-being.
