Punjab High Court Upholds ITI Mandate for Lineman Jobs

Punjab High Court Upholds ITI Mandate for Lineman Jobs

The Punjab and Haryana High Court recently made a decision about job requirements for lineman positions.

The court said that only people with a specific ITI (Industrial Training Institute) certificate in electrician or wireman trade can apply for these jobs.

Some engineering graduates were unhappy because they thought their degrees should be enough to qualify.

They asked the court to change the rule, but the court decided to keep the ITI requirement as it is.

The court believed that the rule is fair and doesn't go against any laws.

So, for now, only people with the ITI certificate can apply for these lineman jobs.
