SHILLONG, NOV 27: The state government has resolved to enhance transparency in the job recruitment process conducted by the district selection committee (DSC) of East Jaintia Hills.
The decision was taken at a meeting convened by the district administration with the sitting legislators from the two constituencies in the region – Kyrmen Shylla (Khliehriat) and Santa Mary Shylla (Sutnga-Saipung) on Thursday.
Also present were DSC members, school principals, legal representatives, and other stakeholders.
A letter was also submitted by R Siangshai and Advocate K Ksoo highlighting several issues, including the display of cut-off marks, interview ratios, and the need for transparent communication with candidates.
During the discussion, the committee resolved to enhance transparency in the recruitment process by publishing the qualifying or cut-off marks after the declaration of final results. It was reaffirmed that the ratio of candidates shortlisted for the personal interview round will remain at 1:2.
To ensure timely and accurate communication, the DSC will directly notify candidates about subsequent stages of recruitment through email and SMS. In a further move to promote accountability, both the Provisional Answer Keys and the final Answer Keys will be uploaded on the DSC website after the conduct of examinations.
Additionally, it was decided that DSC will explore ways to temporarily shut down internet services or using jammers, CCTVs during examinations to prevent malpractice. After the completion of the recruitment process, the marks of all candidates will be made public and uploaded on the official district website.
The district administration reiterated its commitment to ensuring fairness, transparency, and efficiency in all recruitment-related activities.
Stakeholders expressed satisfaction with the outcome of the meeting and conveyed their appreciation to the Chairman for initiating such discussions.
They also suggested that similar consultative meetings be held regularly to allow continuous feedback and improvement.
