Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said that interviews will not be required for junior level central government jobs from January 1 onwards. The announcement was made during his radio address Mann Ki Baat. He said that this move will curb corruption and ensure transparent selection.
During his address, Mr. Modi said, �The government has completed the entire process to do away with interviews. There will be no requirement of interview for Group D, C and Group B`s non-gazetted posts in central government. It will come into effect from January 1, 2016... There won`t be any interruption in the ongoing (recruitment) processes, but the decision would come into effect from January 1.
The Prime Minister had mentioned the plan during his address on Independence Day. People were getting robbed for getting employment. It often crossed my mind as to why there was the need for an interview for small jobs. I have never heard of a psychologist who can evaluate a person during an interview of one to two minutes... Abolition of the practice will particularly help the poor who would have to resort to recommendations or fall prey to brokers who made way with their money, he said.
