New Delhi: To give a boost to hiring of employees, the scores of all candidates appearing in various competitive exams will be put online which will enable access to both public and private sector companies.
The central government has cleared Niti Aayog’s proposal to make scores and rankings of candidates in recruitment examinations publically available.
The move focuses on providing the unemployed access to job opportunities, an order issued today by Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) said.
"As approved by the government, the candidates will have the option to opt out of the disclosure scheme. The option of opting out will have to be taken at the time of filing up the application,” it said.
"This, thus further indicates that the actual implementation can be done only on those examinations for which the application forms will be invited in future. Seeking option from candidates during the process of conduct of examination may neither be practical nor feasible.”
The announcement has come nearly three months after Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke in this regard.
There are many recruiting agencies like Union Public Service Commission and Staff Selection Commission to select employees for various government jobs including for prestigious Indian Administrative Service (IAS), Indian Foreign Service (IFS) and Indian Police Service (IPS) among others.
The results of government entrance examinations for engineering and medical colleges are already being used by private colleges for admissions.
