I applied for Bihar Engineering Services Examination in May 2011. They took the exam one and a
half years later in December 2012. They declared the written result 6 months
later in May 2013. They still have to take the interview and prepare final
result and offer the joining letter to the selected candidates. 2 years already
passed by, and at least an extra year is likely to take more. (almost more than
3 years for the whole process of recruitment and placement)
I applied for Engineering
Services Examination in Feb 2012, appeared at the exam in
June 2012. They declared the written result 10 months later in April 2013.
Interview in May 2013 and still final result not declared. It’s likely to take
almost 6 – 10 more months before the actual joining is offered to selected
candidates. (almost 2 years for the whole process of recruitment and placement)
I applied in Airports Authority
of India in March 2012, appeared at the exam in August 2012. Interviews were
held in December 2012 and final result was declared in January 2013 (faster
process though). In the final result, It was written, “Offer letters will
follow shortly!” After long wait of 3 months, one fine evening a notice
appeared on the AAI website, “Candidates who have applied for the posts in
above advertisement may note that the recruitment process is put on hold until further
orders!” (indefinite period for the whole process of recruitment and placement)
If this is the way our
recruitment agencies work in India, It’s deliberately creating a major
workforce who can be employed productively in constructive works into forced
unemployment! Though, I have a job, so I do not feel the heat and frustration.
Many who are freshers or don’t have patience for such a long wait, and don’t
have a job in hand, It’s highly likely they will be frustrated or give up
preparing for such exams!
