Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Delhi High Court's decision dismissing the appeal of B.Ed. candidates seeking recruitment as Assistant Teachers in Municipal Corporation Schools. The Court found that the qualifications prescribed in the recruitment advertisement did not include B.Ed. as a valid qualification for the post, and clarified that the Teacher Training Certificate (TTC) is not comparable to the B.Ed. degree. The Court emphasized that the nature of training for primary teachers differs significantly from that for higher classes, and thus, B.Ed. cannot be considered a higher qualification than TTC.
