They have expressed fear that their years of hard work might go in vain due to delays in the appointment process. The candidates have shared their struggles in trying to address the issue by meeting with Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, senior ministers, and visiting the PSC office multiple times.
The candidates’ statements reflect their deep frustration and emotional distress over the prolonged uncertainty surrounding their appointments. Venugopal, having learned about their situation through media reports, has pledged to support them and work towards finding a solution to their concerns. He criticized the state government for not prioritizing timely appointments despite the candidates’ merit and efforts, emphasizing the need to address the challenges faced by deserving job seekers in Kerala’s higher education sector.
