To Boost Hiring By Private Sector, UPSC, RRB, SSC To Share Scores Of Competitive Exams Online
Recruitment agencies like the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) and Railway Recruitment Board (RRB) have been asked by the government to share online the scores of candidates taking competitive exams.
The initiative is aimed at the government’s effort to boost hiring by the private sector.
Now candidates who are attending the recruitment exams of UPSC, RRB and SSC will be able to access their scores online. According to Press Trust of India, these agencies have been asked by the union government to share online the scores of aspirants taking competitive exams. With this move, private firms scouting for talent can use scores or marks obtained by job aspirants in examinations conducted by these agencies, an idea that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had mooted last year.
Union Public Service Commission (UPSC), Staff Selection Commission (SSC) and Railway Recruitment Board (RRB) conduct exams and interviews for recruitment for various posts in government sector.

Prospective recruiters from the private sector could use these scores to identify candidates who rank high in this list even if they did not make the cut for a slot in premier services such as the Indian Administrative Service or the Indian Foreign Service.
According an earlier report, the UPSC said that it will start doing this for every public recruitment examination.
“There shall be an “Opt-out Clause” which shall be applicable for the candidates who qualify for the final stage of the examination,” an announcement by the commission said earlier.
