All Central government ministries have been asked to send a report, duly approved from their ministers concerned, to the Centre on discontinuation of interviews for junior-level recruitments.
They were earlier asked to send the report by last week. All Central ministries were requested to furnish consolidated information in respect to discontinuation of interviews, with the approval of minister or minister in-charge, by January 7. “However consolidated information along with prescribed proforma, has not yet been received,” the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) said in an order. It asked them to send the information by Thursday.
Following an announcement by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his last year’s Independence Day speech, the DoPT had decided there will be no interviews from January 1, 2016, for recruitments at junior-level posts in Government of India ministries, departments, attached and subordinate offices, autonomous bodies and public sector undertakings. All advertisements for future vacancies will be without the interview as part of the recruitment process, it had said.
