The Story in Brief
Candidates for Maharashtra's recruitment of 30,209 teacher posts face login failures, missing OTPs and other glitches on the Pavitra portal as the August 11 deadline to fill preferences approaches. Hindustan Times reports that of the 2,28,808 candidates who registered for the Teacher Aptitude and Intelligence Test 2025, 1,70,108 have completed self-certification and are eligible for selection.
Santosh Magar, president of the D.T.Ed B.Ed Students Association, said candidates have waited nearly 15 months for the process and now find the portal unresponsive despite repeated attempts, forcing some to stay awake overnight. Education commissioner Sachindra Pratap Singh said the department is working on the website and will extend the deadline if a significant number cannot complete the process.
The Indian Opinion
Another government portal, another scramble. The narrative that inept contractors alone cause this misses the mark: the real failure is that no one tests these systems with actual traffic before the window opens. Candidates who have waited 15 months should not be punished by a server crash. The commissioner has promised an extension if needed. Watch how many candidates finish by August 11. That single number will tell us if the system was built to serve or just to tick a box.
