Out of 52,910 candidates who attended interviews for government jobs, nearly 34,000 were not selected, the Rajya Sabha was informed on Thursday.
To enhance access to job opportunities for unsuccessful candidates in recruitment exams, the government introduced the Public Disclosure Scheme in June 2016, Union Minister of State for Personnel Jitendra Singh mentioned in a written reply.
Under this scheme, details of non-recommended candidates who have passed various stages of recruitment exams but were not finally selected are publicly shared on an online portal by the respective recruitment agencies.
These details can be accessed or utilised by private or public employers to consider such candidates for recruitment in their organisations.
The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) has recently launched the Pratibha-Setu portal, where private companies, PSUs, or other organisations can register to access details of non-recommended candidates for potential recruitment.
Singh added that 52,910 appeared for the interview and 33,950 were not selected.
