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
* 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 !
