Govt. to Aid UPSC Interviewees Not Selected for Jobs
Imagine you take a big test (UPSC) to get a government job.
Thousands of people make it to the interview, but some don't get hired.
The government wants to help these people find jobs.
They have a system where these candidates can share their info online so other companies can see them.
It's like a special website for people who almost got the job, helping them connect with other places that need smart people.
Over 33,950 UPSC interviewees were not selected for government jobs between 2020-2021 and 2024-2025.
The government is working to create employment avenues for UPSC interviewees not selected for civil services.
The Public Disclosure Scheme, launched in June 2016, allows candidates' details to be published online with consent.
The National Career Service (NCS) portal has a 'Pratibha Setu' portal for these aspirants.
Pratibha Setu connects non-selected, qualified candidates with potential employers.
