In the examination 2005 vacancies were 457. Out of 425 selected in the first list , only 402 were given services as per latest figure of DoPT web site. That means remaining 23 candidates(13 OBC, 04 General, 04 SC and 02 ST) were probably were rejected. DoPT can come out more clearly on this. Out of this 402, around 40 did not join services as they were already in better services from previous year examination or did not want to join. Now the figure comes to around 360. In the examination 2006 and 2007 it is known that around 30 more again got better services. Thus the remaining candidate would work out to roughly 325 for a post of 425.
In that event, if counseling is conducted by calling remaining candidates, then it will benefit each candidate irrespective of community. Year after year large number of vacancies go unfilled . If counseling is conducted in the pattern of Engineering admissions then, more serious candidates would attend it and get services. This would obviate the emergence of unfilled vacancies and also would improve transparency of the system besides promoting economy. The attention is drawn to a 1982 letter DoP&T OM No. 22011/2/79-Estt. (D) Dated 8th Feb 1982, directs that:
“…..3. Normally, recruitment whether from the open market or through a Departmental Competitive Examination should take place only when there are no candidates available from an earlier list of selected candidates. However, there is a likelihood of vacancies arising in future; in case, names of selected candidates are already available, there should either be no further recruitment till the available selected candidates are absorbed or the declared vacancies for next examination should take into account the number of persons already on the list of selected candidates awaiting appointment. Thus there would be no limit on the period of validity of the list of selected candidates prepared to the extent of declared vacancies , either by the method of direct recruitment or through a Departmental Competitive Examination….”
If counseling is allowed for allotting services, then more number of candidates can get selected from 2005 examination. The DoPT must also consider bringing back the system of waiting list as has been in practice till year 1993. It is a known fact that every year large number of vacancies go un-allotted and there is no concept of waiting list. The waiting list system has been arbitrarily done away with from 1994 onwards and as a the result large number vacancies get transferred to subsequent years for no mistake of candidates who actually competed for the examination. It also results in delayed filling up of vacancies. All this can be solved once counseling system is undertaken.
