Revamping Recruitment Procedure for Security Forces

Revamping Recruitment Procedure for Security Forces

The Government has planned to revamp recruitment procedure for security forces. In order to ensure smooth conduct of recruitment in future, applications from the aspirants would be invited first, instead of conducting recruitment on rally system. Further, only a limited number of candidates would be called for in a day for appearing in the selection process, i.e., Physical Efficiency Test/Physical Standard Test and medical Examination etc.

Apart from this adequate safety measures will also be taken at the recruitment centres to avoid chaos and harassment of the aspirants. A circular order has also been issued by the Government to the Directors General of Central Para Military Forces on the precautions which need to be taken while organizing recruitment rallies. This will also prevent large number of candidates gathering in small cities.

This was stated by the Minister of State in the Ministry of Home Affairs, Shri Gurudas Kamat in written reply to a question in Rajya Sabha today.
