For about a year or two, candidates prepare for UPSC examinations. If one can get good grades in the exams, the long hours of studying day and night make more sense. The candidate’s year will also be marked by getting ranked for government jobs. Even after being selected after thorough checks in the examination, if the candidate is not placed in their dream jobs, it hurts a lot.
In 2021, civil service examinations were held that were conducted annually by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) to select the officers for the Indian Administrative Service (IAS), Indian Forest Service (IFS), Indian Police Service (IPS), and several others. Over 748 candidates were recommended by the UPSC board on behalf of the civil service examinations. The government did not give 91 candidates their dream jobs.
This occurred due to factors such as limited preferences, medical examination results, unsuccessful claims of reserved categories, and candidates withdrawing their candidatures in accordance with CSE-2021 rules. This information was provided by the Union Minister of State for Personnel, Jitendra Singh.
Six recommended candidates had parents who were working in the government sector and were treated as falling under the Other Backward Classes (OBC). Some of the OBC candidates were also not allocated. The Union Minister stated that the reports from the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment’s expertise committee examining issues relating to the creamy layer equivalent among the Socially and Educationally Backward Classes (SEBCs) are being considered.
If accurate justice is provided by the government of India, that will be very helpful for the candidates and their families to lead a good life. Hopefully, by matching the right candidates with the right jobs, they won’t have to keep them working odd jobs.
