Examination Score will be shared with Private Companies


Prime Minister Sh. Narendra Modi announced that soon Government will share the score marks of Government competitive examination with private sector to improve employbility of the candidates. Prime Minister announced this at the Bloomberg India Economic Forum-2016 on 28th March 2016. 

PM said "In a reform to eliminate corruption in government recruitment, we have abolished interviews for lower and middle level positions. They will now be filled on the basis of transparent examination results."
Recruitment Examination Score will be shared with Private Companies

"You are aware that results of Government entrance examinations for engineering and medical colleges are being used by private colleges also. I am happy to announce one more measure to improve the labour market and benefit the unemployed.

The Government and Public Sector Undertakings conduct a number of recruitment examinations. So far, the scores in these examinations have been retained by the Government. Hereafter, we will make available the results and the candidate information openly to all employers, wherever consent is given by the candidate.

This will create a positive externality. It will provide a rich database that can be used by private-sector employers as a ready-made and objective sourcing and screening mechanism. It will reduce search costs in the labour market for both employers and employees. It will enable better matching of candidates from labour surplus areas with jobs in other regions. "



Thus it seems that most of the candidates need to prepare for Government Examination and even candidate for the private sector job will also appear to have a good score and good impact at the interview level. It will also provide an equal level playing field for job seekers.  We think that this will be a good move and give job seekers a good chance to show their scoring level.

Update: In keeping with the decision of the Government of India (Department of Personnel & Training ) on making available publicly scores of candidates in recruitment examinations through portals with a view to providing a useful database to other employers to enable them to identify good employable candidates, the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) issued a Disclosure Scheme for disclosing the scores and other details of the non-recommended willing candidates, who appeared in the final stage of an Examination (Interview), through its website. UPSC is now regularly disclosing the score of desired candidates on its website.
