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 !
