The Supreme Court has ruled that possessing higher educational qualifications than the prescribed maximum can lead to disqualification for a job. A bench comprising Justices Hasnainoodin Amanullah and R. Mahadevan stated that an employer's need for the right person for the right job doesn't always imply higher qualifications. The court upheld the dismissal of a bank employee who was a graduate but applied for a post requiring only an 8th-pass qualification, concealing his higher degree. The bench justified the government's power to set upper qualification limits to protect job opportunities for those unable to pursue higher education due to adverse circumstances. https://sambad.in/india-and-beyond/supreme-court-rules-overqualified-candidates-cannot-apply-for-lower-qualification-jobs-12000937 #creator program
