Jharkhand SSC on revival mode Recruitment Drive Ahead



Ranchi, Jan.24: Mass recruitment in vacant post of various departments in Jharkhand will be done as the Staff Selection Commission (SSC) is planing to work to full capacity again, after lying defunct for years.

The SSC has floated the outsourcing tender for conducting the entire process of conducting competitive examinations in order to fill up Grade III and assistant level positions which is vacant in the government since long time.
SSC chairman C.R. Sahay  has said that after the receiving the intrest the outsourcing agency would be finalized. Thereafter, the government would take a final call on notifying the date of examinations.
“We have asked all departments to send in requisitions about vacant posts in various categories like reserved and disabled quota through the personnel wing so that we know which exams to conduct and set dates accordingly,” Sahay said to media.

When he asked why the process is being outsourced when the basic task of SSC was to recruit personnel, Sahay minced no words. “Even after so many years, SSC has no experience in conducting exams. So, with the government’s consent outsourcing was decided upon. The agency will be responsible for all processes related to conducting competitive examinations like formatting application forms, receipts, scrutiny of applications, preparation of question, evaluation, publication of results etc. But the administrative control will be with us,” he said.

A retired principal chief conservator of forests(CCF) Mr Sahay was appointed chairman of the Commission in August his  appointment came in the wake of the resignation of his predecessor and former DGP Neyaz Ahmed in May, 2010.He left the post barely two months after his appointment stating that the commission was a toothless tiger.

Sahay said fortunately he did not have to face problems his predecessor did.“For an agency like SSC to function, the government should be clear about what is to be done and when. Otherwise, the commission is of no use. Unfortunately, nothing was defined here till a few months back,” he said.

He added that now the commission’s own rules and regulations were in place. “From outside, conducting examinations may look like a cakewalk, but it is not so. After every exam there is a flurry of controversies and scams. Therefore, my focus is to plug the loopholes and ensure full transparency, before going gaga over conducting exams,” he said.

He revealed that the commission had decided not to follow the Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC) pattern. “We are going to have multiple choice and objective type questions, unlike JPSC’s descriptive pattern. It is because evaluation in descriptive process can be challenged. SSC’s evaluation process will be computerised,” said the chairman
