GRE type test planned for jobs

Posted On: 20/04/2011      Updated On:
By appearing for the common screening test a candidate can apply for various jobs instead of writing exams for every single post.
The Staff Selection Commission, the largest Central recruitment agency, is planning to introduce a “common screening test (CST)“ along the lines of GRE.

The score an aspirant gets in this test would determine if he or she should apply for a clerks' job, a bank officers' job or try to become an IAS officer. The CST scores could be used for screening candidates by all government departments, PSUs, banks etc.

Candidates will be allowed to appear for the CST as many times as they want, with the scores being valid for two years. This will include different levels like Matric, higher secondary and graduate level.

The scores of each candi date will be the deciding factor on the type of posts and grades they will be selected for.

The new system is expected to shorten the recruitment process by at least three months apart from making it easier for candidates as they won't have to appear for multiple tests.

For example, in the case of the UPSC civil services exam, there will be no need for candidates to give a prelims exam (civil services aptitude test) and they will be shortlisted for the mains based on their CST scores.

Applicants will get two hours to write the CST and the question paper will of the objective type. It will include subjects like English, general awareness, general intelligence and Mathematics. Each of the sections will have 50 questions.

The certificate will be sent to the candidate's address and they will be given an option to download a duplicate copy from the official website, which will be valid for two years.

Official sources said SSC chairman Mr N.K. Raghupathy has submitted the proposal to the Centre recently and is awaiting approval of the Union Cabinet.
