Phal Dessai alleged that a well-qualified engineering candidate from Goa, despite clearing all required examinations, was reportedly declared ineligible during the interview stage by the institute.
He said the matter would be examined seriously and appropriate action would be taken following an inquiry into the recruitment process and selection procedures at the institute.
The remarks have sparked fresh debate over local employment opportunities and recruitment practices in centrally funded institutions operating in Goa.
