Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath held an important meeting with the chairpersons of various selection commissions, in the presence of senior government officials, on Saturday to expedite the selection process for vacant posts in various departments, said an official statement.
Emphasising the need for integrity, transparency, and confidentiality in selection examinations, CM Yogi stressed comprehensive improvements in the selection processes and instructed to ensure the timeliness of these processes. He also inquired about the current selection procedures and future plans of the commissions, as well as their expectations from the government.
The major guidelines given by the CM Yogi in the meeting include:
The state government is dedicated to safeguarding the interests of the youth, valuing their hard work, merit, and talent. Anarchic activities like paper leaks or solver gangs are utterly unacceptable. Stringent actions must be taken against every individual involved in such crimes, setting a precedent. It’s imperative to enact strict laws to address such criminal activities promptly. Therefore, necessary measures should be taken expeditiously.
Selection commissions are expected to timely release the calendar for recruitment examinations and adhere rigorously to it. It is imperative to recognize that any deviation from the calendar inconveniences the candidates.
All selection commissions should coordinate mutually to ensure that only one examination is conducted per day. On the one hand, this will make it easier for the exam organisers to make arrangements, while on the other hand, it will be a great convenience for the youth.
Only government secondary schools, degree colleges, universities, polytechnics, engineering colleges, medical colleges, or reputable well-equipped and funded educational institutions with a clean track record should be designated as examination centers for selection examinations. These centers must have CCTV arrangements in place. Additionally, examination centers should be located exclusively in urban areas. It is essential to consider the needs of women and disabled individuals when determining the examination centers.
