Recruiting 10 Lakh in 18 months ? Wondering How ?
Context :
PM Narendra Modi signals ‘mission mode’, government to hire 10 lakh by end 2023 / TNN / 15 June 2022
Extract :
Now , many sceptic persons will say :
“ Govt recruitment process is very complicated , AND govt decision-making process is very slow. Considering this, how will Central Govt manage to recruit 10 lakh persons ( almost 30 % of its current employee strength, in just 18 months ? “
Here is the secret :
Ø NO INTERVIEWS FOR B / C / D ? ……………………… [ 25 Oct 2015 ]
Extract :
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..........................
* 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 !
Dear Chief Recruitment Officer :
I urge you to consider my 6+ Year old suggestion , so that :
# Govt’s promise gets fulfilled
# There is no compromise in the QUALITY of selection
With regards,
Hemen Parekh / hcp@RecruitGuru.com / 15 June 2022
