Every year lakhs of students prepare for UPSC with full enthusiasm and hope. From morning till night there is only one wish that someday I will also become an IAS or IPS. But even after doing everything like studying, coaching, mock tests, notes, when the name does not appear in the result, then many times a person gives up all hope.
Last year, more than 5 lakh 83 thousand candidates had given the UPSC Civil Services Prelims exam. Out of them, 14,627 people reached the Mains, 2,845 candidates appeared for the interview, and in the end only 1,009 people could become officers. In such a situation, the hard work of all the other hardworking candidates goes in vain. But now it is not so. Because UPSC has started a special initiative which gives a new opportunity to those candidates who were just a little left behind. In such a situation, let us tell you today that even after studying hard, you do not clear the UPSC exam, then how will you get a government job.
Now government job How to get it?
UPSC has started a special initiative Pratibha Setu which gives a new opportunity to those candidates who were left just a little short. Pratibha Setu is a bridge that connects the candidates who have reached the UPSC interview. From government and private institutions, which are looking for talented people. Actually, this new scheme is not new at all. Earlier, a scheme of UPSC, Public Disclosure Scheme (PDS) was running. Under this, UPSC used to put on its website the data of those candidates who passed the written examination but lagged behind by a few marks in the interview. Now it has been given a new look and named Pratibha Setu. More examinations have been added to it than ever before, and now not only government but also private companies can participate in it.
Candidates of which examinations can join Pratibha Setu?
Now not only Civil Services, but candidates of many UPSC examinations can join this scheme. Like Civil Services Examination, Indian Forest Service Examination, Central Armed Police Forces Exam, Engineering Services Exam, Combined Geo-Scientist Exam, Combined Defense Services Exam, Indian Economic Service, Indian Statistical Service, Combined Medical Services Exam. But some examinations are not part of this scheme. Like departmental exams like NDA, NA, CBI DSP LDCE or CISF LDCE.
How is Pratibha Setu different from PDS?
In the old PDS scheme, the only thing that happened was that information about those candidates who lagged behind in merit was given on the UPSC website. But now the big change in Pratibha Setu is that now the data of candidates of different examinations is being added to it. Government departments and private companies are given login so that they can see the profiles of these candidates, that is, now the companies themselves can contact these talented candidates. Also, companies are given access only after verification, so that the data remains secure. According to Vinay Kumar, faculty of IAS Academy, this portal currently has data of more than 10,000 candidates. All those who traveled till the UPSC interview, but could not appear in the final list. However, the exact data of how many people have got jobs through this scheme till now is not public.
What are the benefits of this scheme?
1. New opportunity for government jobs: Such candidates can work as consultants, project directors or development fellows in projects of NITI Aayog, ministries, or state governments.
2. Public Sector and Think Tanks: Many PSUs, think tanks and government institutions can recruit through this portal.
3. Private Sector: Some private companies are also joining this portal so that they can get candidates with good analytical and administrative skills.
4. Data Security: Only those companies can see the information of the candidates who are already verified, due to which confidentiality is maintained.
