13. Mr.D.G.Shukla, learned advocate has appeared for  the Gujarat Public Service Commission. He submits that  the GPSC has issued an advertisement dated 30.09.2013  for   filling   up   the   vacancies   of   Assistant  Professors/Lecturers   in   Government   Engineering  Colleges   and   Government   Polytechnics   on   permanent  basis, pursuant to the requisition received from the  State Government on 07.08.2013. In all, there are 1856  posts   to   be   filled   up.   The   recruitment   process   has  commenced,   but   is   at   different   stages   for   different  subjects. It is submitted that applications have been  received   and   in   some   subjects   preliminary  tests   are  C/SCA/832/2014 JUDGMENT yet to be conducted, while in certain other subjects  interviews have been held. In certain other subjects,  interviews   are  yet   to   be   held.   The   learned   advocate  for the GPSC submits that now the State Government has  come out with another Notification dated 28.10.2013,  regarding equivalence of qualifications. Due to this,  the   GPSC   will   have   to   conduct   the   exercise   of  consultation with the State Government and issuance of  a Corrigendum for those left out candidates, who can  claim equivalence. The entire recruitment process is,  therefore, likely to take some time and at least 10 to  12   months   will   be   required   to   complete   it.   In   the  subjects   where   the   recruitment   process   will   be   over  earlier,   the   GPSC   will   recommend   the   names   of   the  candidates   for   the   subject   in   which   the   recruitment  process has culminated. The entire recruitment process  is likely to be completed in a phased manner.
