Gunner Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 The Union Cabinet on Wednesday, approved setting up of National Recruitment Agency, an independent body to conduct examination for government jobs. The setting up of such an agency to conduct a common eligibility test (CET) was announced in the Union Budget by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman in February. Though the Centre envisages to use the CET score for all recruitments in the future, this will be implemented only in three sectors initially. The central government agencies — Railway Recruitment Board, Staff Selection Commission and Institute of Banking Personnel Selection — will be brought under National Recruitment Agency. The National Recruitment Agency will conduct the Tier-1 examination for these three agencies online. Examination centres will be set up in each district, with the Centre committing to invest in the necessary infrastructure for 117 aspirational districts. The examinations will be conducted in 12 languages. The examination will be conducted based on a common curriculum. There will be a common registration, single fee and the candidate need not travel outside the district to appear for the examination. A standardised question bank with multiple questions of similar difficulty levels will be created in a central server. An algorithm will be used to jumble and dole out different questions, so that each candidate receives a different question paper, reducing the chances of cheating and paper leakage. Scores will be generated quickly, delivered online and be valid for a three-year period. Students can write the test multiple times as long as they are within the eligible age limit, with their best score being taken into account. Ultimately, the aim is to allow examination by appointment at the convenience of candidates. For now, however, the examination will be held once a year. Hailing the move as an "historic decision," Union Minister of State, PMO, Jithendra Singh said it was possible due to the direct intervention of the Prime Minister. Dr. Singh said the State governments as well as private firms can also use the CET score for their recruitments. According to DoPT Secretary C. Chandramouli there are 1.25 lakh vacancies every year in Group B and C for Railways, banks and SSC, known as non-gazetted officers. About 2.5 crore people applying every year for examinations to fill these vacancies, also appear for 50 other recruitment tests for positions at public sector banks, railways, police, paramilitary forces and other State and Central government bodies. The recruitment cycle takes at least 18 months and is often marred by clashing dates, leaked papers and examination scams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dusukochadu Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Whatever this gov. proposes seems like an ideal solution at superficial level. Only when it goes into implementation, everything is messed up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r_sk Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Vimarsha ani kadu kaani, are they going to stash out the existing recruitment procedure? Won’t there be any interviews after this? I don’t know how another online exam will benefit the Merit? For example, Ippudu IELTS paper test nunchi Computer based test chesthe; how much value has it added? It simplifies the mode of conducting test, other than that? Asalu Banking, Railway vallaki same test enti? Same skills needed? Or just one more added test? Just edo kothaga chesamu ani cheppukovatam kadu, just like Jaggu’s Isaka Policy & Mandu policy.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is one of my pet peeves with Indian administrative system, which is still stuck in the bygone British raj era. All they care about is creating more mindless bureaucrats. The govt. should get out of most of the sectors especially banking. A person passing with flying colors in one of those exams and joins a PSU bank is still going to be inefficient when compared to a banker at a private bank. And instead of populating important bodies like RBI with dumb economists from Hindi heartland, they should get people with international experience in such matters.
