Punjab and Haryana High Court Quashes Haryana PSC's Last-Minute Interview Criteria Change
The Punjab and Haryana High Court invalidated the Haryana Public Service Commission's last-minute introduction of minimum qualifying marks for interviews for 189 Assistant Professor posts in government medical colleges. The court ruled that changing selection criteria six days before interviews, after candidates were shortlisted, undermined the commission's credibility. It directed the HPSC to re-evaluate candidates based on the original criteria outlined in the May 2022 advertisement, which allocated 75 marks for pre-merit and 25 for interviews without minimum cut-offs.
