GUWAHATI: The Staff Selection Commission (SSC), which was established by the Union government for recruitment of Group B non-gazetted staff and Group C staff to various central government departments and ministries, has seen very few applicants from the northeastern region over the years.
But with the Union ministry of home affairs announcing the recruitment of more than 55,000 candidates in central paramilitary forces (CPMF) through the SSC, this year officials are expecting more applicants from the region. Among these, 4,713 vacancies are available in the northeastern region with Assam having 3,063 posts.
"The number of applicants from this region has remained more or less static, whereas there has been an increase in the all India figure. Assam, in particular has not done well, both in terms of the number of applicants as well as the success rate," said SSC chairman N K Raghupathy.
The Northeast regional office of SSC has received 60,075 applications in the open examination till January this year against 64,371 applications received during 2009-10.
"One possible reason for the poor representation of Assam is lack of awareness among the students about different examinations being conducted, the syllabi and requisite educational qualifications," Raghupathy rued adding that these exams are great opportunities for employment seekers in government sector where the remuneration are very lucrative.
"The SSC chairman also said, "The CPMF has state wise vacancies to be filled by the candidates domiciled in respective states or union territories. It's a wonderful opportunity for the candidates." He urged the youths of northeast to come forward and grab the opportunity with both hands.
