Now it's a good move by Government officials, instead of waiting for long in queues and running time to time to the office was a hectic part of each person, involved in the government recruitment process.
To make it easy and much convenient for the applicants, the Government officials have proposed an online recruitment platform for the applicants which will show them their application status and will help them in their future needs and tasks.
Let's face it, few people look forward to interacting with government officials even if they want to join the ranks of the Sarkari workforce themselves.
An online recruitment plan in the works may soon relieve thousands of such aspirants of the need to queue up at offices multiple times, jostle to put in a word from somebody who seems to know somebody important and possibly offer a bribe to get their police verification fast tracked — all to join a coveted government job.
Soon candidates may be able to complete the entire recruitment process online, barring the exercise of appearing in a written test. That is, if an ambitious digital plan of the Narendra Modi government comes through and the states fall in line.
The Centre is planning a "faceless, paperless and cashless" experience for government recruitments. This follows a proposal of a group of secretaries to the prime minister, as per which the candidates will not have to come face-to-face with any government official from applying till joining the job.
"The secretaries in the ministry of personnel are doing a weekly review of the recommendations of the group of secretaries to ensure the earliest possible implementation. This has been taken up with all secretaries at the Centre and chief secretaries of states," a DoPT spokesperson told ET.
Department of Personnel & Training (DoPT) secretary Sanjay Kothari and foreign secretary S Jaishankar were part of the 12-member group, which gave its recommendations in January.
As per the plan, all government vacancies will be put up on a common portal and applications will be invited online. Applicants will be allowed to certify their applications with eSign, an online electronic signature service which enables an Aadhaar card holder to digitally sign a document.
This will do away with the need of physically signing application forms and queuing up at offices to submit them. The new system will also allow payment of exam fee online through a universal payment interface. The candidates will be able to upload their certificates into a digital locker, which will allow the government access these documents online.
"Certificates uploaded on digital locker will do. There will be automated processing of the matter there on," an official said.
The Centre has already allowed candidates to submit self-attested certificates, moving away from the earlier system that required attestation by gazetted officers. Since January 1, the Centre has also done away with personal interviews for all junior Group B and all Group C and D level posts that form the bulk of government recruitments.
