Raipur. As per Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel’s instructions to speed up the recruitment process on a large scale, the examinations are being conducted at an expedited pace. Vyapam i.e. Chhattisgarh Professional Examination Board has scheduled 40 exams in its calendar for the month of June, which includes the exams conducted for various departmental posts as well as the entrance exams.
In interest of the youth of the state and to ease the financial burden on them, Chief Minister Baghel has exempted the application fee for the entrance examinations of Chhattisgarh Professional Examination Board. This decision has yielded positive results. The number of candidates appearing for the entrance examinations has significantly increased. This number has doubled in entrance exams like B.Ed and Nursing. On the instructions of Chief Minister, Vyapam also increased the number of examination centers for the convenience of the candidates. Earlier, many examinations of Vyapam were held only in divisional headquarters, but this time this entrance exam was conducted in 30 districts. As a result, a large number of youth filled the application and appeared for the entrance examinations.
It is also a laborious process to fill the same information on the application again and again for different types of entrance exams. To overcome this problem, Vyapam has come up with a plan to prepare profiles. The youth have to fill the details required by Vyapam in this profile and there is no need to upload the same information again for different exams. In case of any error in the profile, an application can be submitted to make the correction. Chhattisgarh Professional Examination Board has created profiles for recruitment exams and for entrance exams and the number of such profiles is around 12 lakhs. So far 18 lakh people have appeared for the exams of Vyapam.
It is noteworthy that the state government is also providing unemployment allowance to the youth of the state. Rs 2500 is being provided every month to the eligible youth as unemployment allowance. This amount is being directly transferred to their account. This amount is proving to be useful for the youth preparing for the recruitment examinations of Vyapam and PSC.
