Union Minister Jitendra Singh on Saturday said that till now the interview has been completed for recruitment in government jobs in 23 states and eight union territories. According to a statement from the Personnel Ministry, Singh said that since 2016, the interview for Group-B (non-gazetted) and Group-C posts in the Central Government has been terminated.

The Minister said that from the ramparts of Red Fort on the occasion of Independence Day in 2015, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had suggested to end the interview and on the basis of written exam, had asked for selection in the job. He also said that on the advice of the PM, the Department of Personnel and Training conducted a comprehensive exercise and within three months from January 1, 2016, completed the process of announcing the completion of the interview for recruitment in the Central Government.

He said that some states like Maharashtra and Gujarat were ready to implement this rule but some states were reluctant to abolish it and wanted to be interviewed for jobs. The same Singh expressed satisfaction that after much persuasion and repeated reminders to the State Governments, today in all the eight Union Territories of India including Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh, 23 out of 28 states of the country do not conduct interview.
