OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Sub: Simplification in finalizing/amending of Recruitment Rules on cases emerging out of grant of exemption from consultation with UPSC.
The undersigned is directed to say that the process of finalizing/amending of RRs for any post involves consultation with the RR division of DoPT, UPSC and thereafter vetting by the Legislative Department. The matter regarding the need to follow this procedure for carrying out amendments in the RRs for giving effect to the decision of the competent authority exempting certain posts or category of posts from consultation with UPSC, has been reviewed with a view to simplification of the procedure.
2. All the proposals regarding exemption of posts or category of post from consultation with UPSC are processed after holding prior consultation with UPSC. If there is a disagreement with the views of UPSC, the same is resolved with the approval of the competent authority. After the approval of the competent authority, a notification is also issued exempting posts or category of posts from consultation with UPSC. Therefore, if the amendment is limited to incorporation of the provision relating to exemption from consultation with UPSC for which a notification has already been issued by DoP&T, then consultation with RR Division of DOPT and UPSC once again is not considered necessary.
3. The Competent Authority has therefore decided that the process of again consulting DoPT and UPSC for amending the Recruitment Rules (on limited issue of exemption from consultation) is not necessary. The Ministries/Departments may amend column 13 of the Recruitment Rules for effecting the notifications issued by Estt B Division of this Department regarding exemption of certain posts/category of posts from consultation with UPSC after vetting by the Legislative Department.
4. However, if any other changes are to be made in the RR, then before finalization of the RR, the procedure for consultation with RR Division of DoP&T, UPSC and vetting by Legislative Department may be followed.

Dr Jitendra Singh writes to Chief Ministers to abolish interview for recruitment

Dr Jitendra Singh writes to Chief Ministers to abolish interview for recruitment
Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER), MoS PMO, Personnel, Public Grievances & Pensions, Atomic Energy and Space, Dr. Jitendra Singh has appealed the Chief Ministers of all the States to take steps to abolish interview for recruitment to lower posts wherever possible. Dr. Jitendra Singh has written to the Chief Ministers requesting them to lead this initiative in their respective States.
As a prompt follow up to the suggestion made by the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi during his Independence Day address to abolish interview for recruitment to such posts where it is not required, the Department of Personnel & Training (DoPT) took up the matter with the State Governments of all States on September 4, 2015 following which the matter was discussed with the Secretaries of General Administration Department (GAD)/Personnel from States during the two-day workshop held in New Delhi on September 8-9, 2015.
The government’s view is that the interviews should be discontinued for recruitment to junior level posts where personality or skill assessment is not absolutely required. The objective behind abolition of interviews for such posts is that it will curb corruption, ensure more objective selection in a transparent manner and substantially ease the problems of the poor and resourceless aspirants. This will not only enable giving more weightage to the merit but also supplement the government’s resolve for “Maximum Governance, Minimum Government”.
In the letter addressed to the Chief Ministers, the Dr Jitendra Singh has informed that several Group ‘B’ (Non-Gazetted) and Group ‘C’ (Non-Technical) posts in various Ministries/Departments and other organisations under Central Government have already been identified where the selections can be made through a competitive examination without conducting the interview. The letter further states that the matter was discussed with the Secretaries of GAD/Personnel from States during the two-day workshop held last month and some of the States have already initiated this exercise.
The Chief Ministers of different States have been requested to involve the Public Service Commission and other recruiting agencies in their respective States where interview can be discontinued and selection can be done only through examination. This would be a major step towards achieving the goal of citizen-centric transparent governance.
The DoPT and the Department of Administrative Reforms & Public Grievances (DAR&PG) and the Department of Pensions and Pensioners Welfare have recently undertaken several path breaking decisions including abolition of attestation of certificates and instead introduced self-attestation of certificates, introduction of pension portal to abolish the requirement for a written life-certificate and decision to revisit and revise the pattern and syllabus of Civil Services Examination.
