Letter to Editor in Dawn Newspapaer. SNGPL: violation of merit

The Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Ltd is one of the most important organisations of the country involved in transmission and distribution of natural gas. In June 2011 the SNGPL announced a number of posts for engineers and countless other fields in national newspapers.

A test was conducted by the National Testing Service. It seemed at that moment as if merit was the benchmark for the posts advertised. However, all the goodwill evaporated when call letters were issued for interviews.

At first, only candidates securing more than 77 out of 100 marks were called. Later, due to pressure and political wrangling everyone above 60 was called for interview.

This created an ugly situation as hundreds of candidates from all over Pakistan were called to Lahore for interviews, which were more of a formality than anything else and just took five minutes on an average.

The thing that makes all the process so dubious is the fact that no merit list was displayed on the website of the company or elsewhere. Now that the successful candidates have been issued joining letters, no one knows on what basis these appointments
have been made.

I myself got 79 marks in the NTS test for the post of engineer (application no. 19857) but many having less marks have been ‘blessed’ with a permanent job.

The misuse of authority is now the norm of our society. It has created a sense of frustration among unemployed youths. I hope the Supreme Court and the authorities concerned will take notice and issue a proper merit list.

Those were your words but voice of all of us. If one can't do anything , atleast one can raise one's voice against the injustice.
Bravo.

Well, it is extremely unfortunate for our country. When one makes it, irrespective of merit or reference, it is perfectly ok for him. But if someone else makes it through, then its a violation of meritocracy and that Supreme Court must take action against it. Sad but true.

I remember when I graduated, I applied at an MNC as an MTO, went through test, prelimiary test, and reached the assessment center and I believed I did it well. But I got an e-mail that I am rejected. Let me inform that I was the topper of my test at my Campus by huge margin as I did see the result sheets.

When I could not make it, I got the same gut feelings as if they hired people with reference or people from LUMS, IBA etc only. But as luck would have it, I came across few people who were hired that year. And once I interacted with them, I came to the conclusion that they were not a bad choice either.

Now why I am saying this. I personally know few people who are hired this time and they have definitely NO REFERENCE or your SO CALLED POLITICAL INFLUENCE behind them. I do not deny the fact that there is no reference based hiring but if you believe that this is totally MORPHED hiring, then sorry brother, you are absolutely mistaken.

And do you believe interview would have not carried any marks? Definitely it would have. Was the weightage of test 100%? I doubt it. I went through LDA recruitment test, and they had the following weightage:

50% Test, 35% Educational Background, 15% Interview

I topped the test there too (at least amongst those who were given offer) and got 2nd number in merit only due to 1 mark deficiency in my Educational Background. I have studied in Top Institutions of this country. Now, should I challenge this criteria that why this 35% weightage has been given to Educational Background and on what grounds did they gave me less marks? This is their policy matter and my dear friend, policies in any organization are not disclosed to publics.

I came to know of this criteria once I succeeded and for everyone's information, I WAS OFFERED POST TOTALLY ON MERIT And if courts start intervening in all Policy matters, I believe there is no need for Governing bodies as well. Not even Govt, not even Institutions, not even CSPs.

I belong to a family of all Public Service people so using influence wont be an issue for me, but still, I have gone for merit thing and I have been optimist all the times.

If you believe, the interviews are fake, then those who scored less marks in Interviews of CSS also may say that Bhagwan Das sahab was perhaps biased against them, hence making the apprarently most Merit-based hiring in Pakistan controversial as well. And in such case, if CSS hiring is not on merit, then I wonder which one would be .

Once again, I do not say that its 100% merit but its definitely 60%+ merit. If you want to challenge it, I will and I cannot say anything coz this is your basic right but you would definitely be depriving those 60%+ people of their right because those who are to be hired on reference would remain there, no matter how hard you try.

All I can suggest as a brother to you is to stay calm and stay optimistic . Rest upon you.

Well for which post you were interviewed?? And what did they ask about documents??? They had already collected the documents at the time of interview. I also had my interview in SNGPL via that PHR. But didn't receive any call.
