PM Modi creates bypass: Private sector professionals can be Bureaucrats, 10 Senior Posts Open

New Delhi, June 11: This is a great initiative taken by the Modi- led government towards the improvement of our governance system. The government has now opened the doors of bureaucracy to skilled people from the private sector, inviting applications for 10 senior-level posts.

 

This has created an alternative to the UPSC exams which will be a direct bypass for the private sector personnel to become a Joint Secretary. In an advertisement given by the Department of Personnel and Training, it stated that the proposal of lateral entry is aimed at bringing in fresh ideas and new approaches to governance and also to augment manpower. Candidates who have expertise in specific areas of Revenue, Financial Services, Economic Affairs, Agriculture, Road Transport & Highways, Shipping, Environment & Forests, New & Renewable Energy, Civil Aviation and Commerce and fulfill the eligibility criteria may apply for specific posts mentioned in the advertisement.

Candidates must have 40 years of age plus minimum 15 years of experience.

A joint secretary leads policy making as well as the implementation of various programmes and schemes of the Department. But there is a condition that the candidates from Private Sector Organisations will be appointed on contract basis.

The last date for receipt of applications is 30th July 2018 till 05:00 PM. All applications may be submitted online at http://Lateral.nic.in from 15th June 2018 to 30th July 2018 till 05:00 PM. No extension of time will be given under any circumstances.
