The categorization of groups for induction process is absolutely rubbish. In general cadre, they have put PAS, OMG, IG, etc. It means if someone is not allocated to PAS then he/she will be directly allocated to OMG or IG. Seriously?
This category will be mostly competitive as majority of candidates will apply for this category. The least competitive category will be of Police Service, given that not many people are M.A Criminology or M.A. Sociology. This new system is actually worse than the incumbent system. This also shows that our high-ups are not serious enough to strengthen Civil Service as an institution. This is only Khahna Puri.
They would have strengthened Civil Service by depoliticizing it and reducing political interference, and making it an independent institution just like our armed forces. The governance system would have been improved significantly.
One more question: What about the military inductees who join civil service through military quota every year without taking any exam and are allocated to PAS, PSP and FSP? Does this rule apply to them or ya yahan bhi sirf civilians ko ragrhaa mara jaegaa.
