Understanding the Amendment
Under the initial “Sub Scheme for the Engagement of Professional English and Mathematics Teachers on Fixed Honorarium/Consolidated Amount,” applicants were strictly required to be at least 25 years of age by the submission deadline.
Following a recent government directive intimated by the Director of Higher Education, Himachal Pradesh, this barrier to entry has been removed.
