This is a discussion on AfterGraduation new article "A Good UPSC Exam Score Could Land A Private Job Too".
Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) has decided to share online the scores of candidates taking competitive exams for jobs in the bureaucracy, police, engineering and others under its umbrella. This is part of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s proposal to boost hiring by the private sector on the basis of the UPSC Exam Score.
Annually, UPSC puts nearly 10 lakh job aspirants through a rigorous selection process to select 5,000 candidates for different jobs. For the remaining 99.5 per cent that lose the chance for a government job at any selection procedure, the test scores don’t mean anything fruitful.
The Commission has decided to disclose information like marks obtained and educational qualifications of candidates who appeared in the final stage of examination (interview) but were “not recommended” in premier services such as the Indian Administrative Service (IAS), the Indian Foreign Service (IFS) etc, it said.
