From January 1 next year (2016), there will be no requirement of interview for Group D,C and B non-gazetted posts in central government, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced Sunday as part of efforts to put an end to the menace of corruption in jobs.
In his monthly radio programme ‘Mann Ki Baat’, he recalled that he had suggested in his Independence Day address that the practice of holding interviews for recruitment at lower levels in governments could be done away with.
“The government has completed the entire process to do away with interviews for lower rank jobs. There will be no requirement of interview for Group D,C and B non-gazatted posts in central government. It will come into effect from January 1, 2016,” Modi said.
The Central Government is making plans for its implementation. Some of these posts are filled directly by various Government Departments and most are filled through Staff Selection Commission (SSC) and a few by Union Public Service Commission (UPSC). It will be interesting to know how government will implement it when details will come out.
