Patna: The state education department has announced that the school allotment process for 1.3 lakh teachers, whose district postings have already been finalised, will be completed by June 15.These teachers were selected from among 1,90,226 applicants who submitted online requests for transfer postings. The allotments have been made based on the teachers’ chosen panchayats and the availability of vacancies within those districts.In a set of school allotment guidelines issued on Friday, the department confirmed that the entire process will be conducted under the strict supervision of the respective district education officers (DEOs).Teachers who have been transferred must join their newly allotted schools between June 23 and June 30. Once the allotment process concludes, the transfer posting orders will be made available via the e-Shiksha Kosh portal. Teachers dissatisfied with their new postings may appeal to the DEO, but only after joining their assigned schools.To ensure impartiality and maintain confidentiality, the department has introduced a unique mechanism for DEOs. While the list of transferred teachers will be available through the DEO’s login, it will be accessible only one teacher at a time. The DEO will be able to view essential professional details, such as category, subject, class and panchayat, but will not be shown personal details like name, school ID, previous posting or reasons for transfer.This system is aimed at helping DEOs carry out school allotments in a timely and unbiased manner, free from external influence.In cases where no vacancies are available within a teacher’s selected panchayat, the DEO has been instructed to assign the teacher to a school in the nearest panchayat. The guidelines clearly state that DEOs cannot skip any teacher in the sequence; only after one teacher’s allotment is complete will the details of the next teacher be displayed.For the remaining teachers whose applications are still under review, a decision will be taken in the second phase of the process. These applicants have been given the option on e-Shiksha Kosh to either withdraw their current applications or delete and resubmit them. Those wishing to revise the reason stated in their previous applications may also delete and reapply. Additionally, new teachers may submit fresh applications during this period.All second-phase applications will be considered based on district-level vacancy data and the student-teacher ratio.Priority will be given to new applicants opting for districts with high student-teacher ratios. These districts include Sheohar, Sitamarhi, Purnia, East Champaran, Araria, Katihar, Khagaria, Supaul, Banka, Jamui, Kishanganj, Lakhisarai, Bhagalpur and Madhubani.
