2. By these amendments thus in the Schedule-II posts of Basic Computer Instructor and Senior Computer Instructor were added. The post of Basic Computer Instructor would be filled up 100% by direct recruitment. Educational qualifications were prescribed as provided in column-4. Another post was of Senior Computer Instructor. This would be filled up 50% by promotion and 50% by direct recruitment. Promotion would be from the post of Basic Computer Instructor. Educational qualifications for direct recruitment included masters degree in various subjects, such as Engineering (M.E.), M. Tech in Computer Science, Information Technology, Electrical Engineering etc.

6. Learned counsel for the Government drew our attention to an order dated 24.01.2022 passed in D.B. Civil Writ Petition No.1104/2022-Satya Narayan Saini and Ors. Vs. State of Rajasthan and Ors. in which challenge to the eligibility criteria for the post of Basic Computer Instructor came to be rejected. Following observations may be noted.

"The short contention of the petitioners is that exclusion of three years diploma in computer science from the list of eligibility criteria contained in the said Rules for the post in question is arbitrary and (5 of 6) [CW-1572/2022] discriminatory. This ground the petitioners seek to make good by pointing out that for the post of computer programming assistant, the State recognizes the said qualification as essential eligibility. According to the petitioners nature of duties and responsibilities in both cases being identical, exclusion of this qualification for the purpose of recruitment to the post of basic computer instructor amounts to discrimination.
We do not find that the petitioners have made out any case for interference. What should be the eligibility criteria for holding a particular post in public employment has essentially to be left to the discretion of the authorities. The Court would not substitute its opinion for that of recruiting authority in such specialized fields. By mere statement that the two posts namely, basic computer instructor and computer programming assistant involve identical nature of duties, responsibilities and workload, these facts do not get established. Admittedly two posts are in different cadres and carry different nomenclature. Unless and until full duty lists, the nature of job to be performed and all other relevant aspects are brought on record, the two posts cannot be held to be equivalent in all respects.
