DEVENDRA SINGH vs STATE OF U.P. .

The Supreme Court held that the selection process for the Special BTC Training Course, as per the Government order dated 14.1.2004, is not a recruitment process but merely a training program for candidates with B.Ed./L.T. qualifications. The Court emphasized that the policy mandates a state-level merit list based on High School marks and does not provide for preferential treatment based on previous training course completion. Consequently, the appeals were dismissed as the appellants were not entitled to admission based on their claims.
