Government jobs will not be interviewed now.  Interview system for government jobs in 8 Union Territories has now been abolished.  Union Minister Jitendra Singh said that the interview system for Group B and Group C posts in the Union Government has been abolished since 2016.  He said that PM Modi had in 2015 talked of removing interviews from exams from Lalkilla and giving jobs only on the basis of written exams.

Interviews in Group B and D have been closed since 2016. It may be noted that the interview system for Group B and Group C posts was abolished in 2016 in which Gujarat and Maharashtra accepted the rule very quickly, while other states were reluctant to implement it soon.  However, now the system of not conducting interviews from 23 states and 8 Union Territories has been adopted.

The decision was taken to bring transparency in the recruitment process, he said in a statement.  Earlier, it was alleged that job interviews were rigged and that large sums of money were paid in bribes.
