No Interviews For Jobs: The New Initiative of PM

I was going to my next target on Sunday morning and I was discerning that what a way to spoil your Sunday. My driver Jaswinder was also going through the same sentiment as I spoiled his Sunday. Honestly, I love screwing happiness of people, you can term me as sadist but I will call myself with more appropriate word ‘moody’.

Jaswinder switched on the radio and I heard a very familiar voice. After few minutes of analysis done by my senses, I realized that the voice is of Prime Minister Narender Modi speaking on some issue. Prime Minister made an important announcement which left me in shock. He announced that there will be no interview procedure in the selection of people for the government jobs of Group B, Group C and Group D.


When I did some research then I found that many political parties are against it and showcasing that it is a trick to end the reservation. I felt the reservation issue has been dragged intentionally where it wasn’t required. The more concerned agenda right now is that quality of people selected.


The new procedure of selection will be applicable from New Year and the selection will only be based on written/physical test for few jobs/medical. Is prime minister ignoring the fact that there are few organisations which need the interview procedure? Every organisation has some requirement which cannot be judged only through written exam or physical test. Few non-gazetted jobs have the requirement of communication skills/stable psychological need/verbal display of knowledge. The later may not be that important but the other factors are important.


Let us see what the advantages of interview procedure are.

  • Interview is useful in determining social skills and communicative skills.
  • To obtain additional information about the candidate related to job requirement.
  • To test the knowledge of the candidate.
  • To judge that the candidate has required compatibility useful for the organisation.
  • Practical aspects can be judged through an interview.



Let us discuss the disadvantages of Interview procedure.

  • Decisions are made in first few minutes of interview and rest are used to confirm the decision made.
  • Interviewer tends to put more weight on negative points of the candidate.





Now, you can weigh the pros and cons of the interview and judge yourself that it is essential or not. I hope Prime Minister Narender Modi will make some efforts to identify the government jobs where interview is required and will exempt them from his new ingenuity.

The Battle of Longewala

After drifting for approximately thousand kilometers from Alwar, I have reached Longewala. This place romanticizes me allot. The battle of Longewala a legend in itself. It is located at 120 kms from city of Jaisalmer. Only way to reach this place is boulevard and if you are tourist then you have to hire a cab. Longewala is prevalent because of the illustrious skirmish tussled between India and Pakistan in 1971. The clash of Longewala is all about how hundred odd men clogged and overwhelmed approximately 2000 Pakistani legionnaires. This battle was all about the audacity, impetus, chauvinism and drive to prizefight exhibited by those eighty Indian warriors. This scuffle is one of my favorite scuffles, and whenever I come to this place, my mind start envisaging how horde of men repudiated the destiny. During the Indo-Pak war of 1971, A-Coy of 23 Punjab had taken up the defences at Longewala. The A-Coy company commander was Major Kuldeep Singh Chandpuri later on emer...
