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?"

Recruiting 10 Lakh in 18 months ? Wondering How ?

 

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....................................  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,

 

 

     www.OnlineGovInterview.com

 

 

     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  !

 

 

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

===================================

PS :

Central Govt offices work for 5 days/week 

260 days in 52 weeks ( one year )

Less 16 paid holidays , giving 244 work days in 12 months

Or,

366 days in 18 months

Hence,

1,000,000 ( 10 Lakh ) divided by 366 = 2732 persons to be " selected / appointed " per working day

Assume, some 1,000 persons apply against EACH VACANCY

That means 2,732,000 ( 27.3 Lakh ) persons to be INTERVIEWED per DAY !
