Now, more seats can be filled in all technical institutes of the State.  Chief Minister Hemant Soren has instructed the Jharkhand Combined Entrance Competitive Examination Board (JCECEB) to finally conduct a cycle spot counselling after counselling to be held for enrollment in each academic session. After this, seats in various technical institutes will not remain vacant and the mess in allocation of seats among students will also be stopped.

The CM has asked the Board to ensure strict adherence to the schedule prescribed by the AICTE and the guidelines for counselling or nomination process from time to time.

The enrollment of students in technical institutes of Jharkhand was taken through online counselling based on the merit list of Joint Entrance Examination (Mains) conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA) from the previous academic session by the JCECEB. But, due to certain reasons, there were many mistakes in seat allocation. Due to this, many seats were left vacant due to lack of timely information to institutions and students. In such a situation, seats in government technical institutes do not remain empty from the new session, for this last cycle counselling is being arranged for enrollment.

Meanwhile, in another decision, the CM has ordered the JCECEB to conduct an inquiry against those serving for 28 years by hiding the caste certificate during and after enrollment by 132 Home Guards from the last academic session. The Chief Minister has also ordered these home guards not to take any work till further orders in case of taking remuneration and allowance etc. from the government.

Soren today also approved the proposal of compensation of Rs. 3 lakh to the dependents of Abdul Jabbar, who died in police custody. It is to be known that Abdul Jabbar committed suicide in police custody in Sahebganj district in the year 2017. In the investigation of National Human Rights Commission, there was talk of negligence by the police behind his death. In such a situation, the commission had recommended to the State Government to give compensation of three lakh rupees to the dependent of the

deceased.

 At the same time, the National Human Rights Commission investigated the case of the death of a mother for treatment for four days after taking the dead child into the womb in the year 2015 in Garhwa district. In the light of the recommendation of the Commission, the Chief Minister has approved the proposal to give compensation of one lakh rupees to the husband of the deceased.
