On Wednesday, the Chief Minister of Uttarakhand, Pushkar Singh Dhami, declared that the interview system would be eliminated from all Group ‘C’ examinations, effective immediately.
The decision was made after a recruitment exam scandal was reported, and the Uttarakhand government requested an investigation by the High Court.
Within a day of the request, the decision to abolish the interview system was taken under the guidance of a sitting HC judge.
No More Interview System in Group “C” Examination

CM Dhami emphasized that this measure would ensure transparency in exams and secure the future of young people.
He declared that the interview system should be abolished with immediate effect for all Group ‘C’ exams, whether conducted by the Public Service Commission or any other commission in the state, including technical and non-technical positions such as the posts of JE.
