Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

NO INTERVIEWS FOR B / C / D ?


NO   INTERVIEWS   FOR   B / C / D  ?


Hon PM , Shri Modiji has announced that , starting 01 Jan 2016 , there will be no interviews for recruitment in B / C / D categories of employees in Central Government

You may like to call this :

A / B / C / D of Interviewing  !  or , Non-Interviewing  ?

Henceforth , recruitment would be made only on the basis of marks scored by candidates in written exams , conducted by ,

STAFF SELECTION COMMISSION  (  SSC  )

Believe me , there will be 2589  applicants scoring 94 % mark !

In which case , who gets that job ?

>  Candidates with surnames starting with  " A / B / C " ?
>  Candidates belonging to OBC / SC / ST quota ?
>  State-wise / Population-wise Quota ?
>  Candidates having Ph D / Master degree ?

Last year , SSC recruited about 55,000 employees from 17 million applicants ( 309 applicants for each vacancy )

Now take a look at the following news ( DNA / 11 Sept 2015 ) :


Against 368 vacancies of " Peons " advertized by UP Govt , applications received were as follows :


*  Total Number of applicants.............. 20 lakh
    {  5,435 applicants for each post  ! }

*  No of PhDs....................................  201

*  No of Master Degree holders............ 20,056

*  No of Bachelor Degree holders.......... 1,23,000

*  No of 12th Standard pass................. 6,00,000

*  No of 10th Standard pass................. 8,20,000

   { Minimum prescribed Edu Qualification = 10th Standard }


I suppose the Edu Profile ( and Min Edu Quali ) of those applying for Central Govt jobs in B / C / D categories , is no different

If so , those applicants holding Ph D / MA , qualifications , can be expected to" Top the lists "with high marks! And corner all jobs ?

Will that lead to ,

>  Getting higher Educational Qualifications ?
>  Getting higher marks in 10th/12th Std for admissions to
    Colleges  ?
>  Bribing college examiners ?
>  Huge amount of frustration/resentment among those Ph Ds for
    taking up a job below their skills ?

   
   

What is the rationale behind the decision to do away with the interviewing ? HT ( 26 Oct 2015 ) quotes :

*  Shri Modiji :
    I have never heard of a psychologist who can evaluate a person during an interview of one to two minutes

* Shri Shekhar Singh
   Interview did not serve a purpose for junior posts, particularly when the government had never defined the attributes of a civil servant for a particular job

No doubt , these are very valid points , which " No Interview " decision seems to answer in short term

But the long term answer is :

*  Preliminary elimination based on 10th/12th Std marks
*  Define those " attributes " for each job
*  Design  ONLINE " Psychometric Tests " around those
    attributes
*  Cut-off percentile based on these  ONLINE  tests
*  Distributing Successful candidates for personal ONLINE
     Interviewing by hiring Government Departments , using a
     portal called,


     This  ONLINE  interviewing can also be Out-Sourced to
     reputable private sector Recruitment Companies
     ( Public / Private Collaboration ? )

  
 *  Skype based  ONLINE  Video Interviewing , thru

         www.OnlineGovInterview.com

*  An exhaustive/objective " ASSESSMENT SHEET " ( with 5 point
    weighted average scale on 10 attributes ) , to be filled up
    ONLINE , in the portal by the interviewers, with final
    recommendations on the suitability of interviewed candidates
    This will be transparently available for viewing by ALL citizens
    No need for RTI application !

When implemented , this would become , one of the finest example of e-Governance thru DIGITAL INDIA

And , not at all difficult for India - the Software Superpower , if there is a Political Will

TCS / INFOSYS / WIPRO would do this in 3 months  !
