A recruitment process at Tajpur Degree College in Osmaninagar, Sylhet, has stalled after the institution collected application fees from candidates but failed to proceed with hiring. The college had announced vacancies for several positions on September 10 of the previous year, inviting permanent Bangladeshi citizens to apply within 15 days and submit a non-refundable fee of 500 taka per post. Around 46 applicants responded, but no written or oral tests have been held, leaving candidates disheartened and uncertain.

The delay stems from a September 28 circular issued by the Ministry of Education, which transferred recruitment responsibilities to district commissioners, creating a conflict with the college’s earlier notice. Acting Principal Md Khorsuzzaman said the matter has been reported to the Additional Deputy Commissioner (Education) and that a decision will be made soon. However, ADC (Education) Masud Rana stated he was unaware of the recruitment notice or any suspension of the process.

Applicants have demanded either completion of the recruitment or a clear explanation regarding their applications and fees.
