The issue of overlapping dates for different government jobs is a major concern for aspirants in present times as it creates unnecessary stress for candidates who are eligible and interested in applying for posts under multiple departments but are forced to choose between them due to clashing of schedules.
Candidates preparing for multiple exams encounter date clashes- two or more exams schedule on the same day, like for technical students preparing for both NPSC technical as well as for departmental exams like Forest Guard which happens to be in the same date and month is not good for the aspirants, especially the technical students who have exams on the same dates.
This not only forces the aspirants to make a tough decision but may also result in missing out on opportunities they are well equipped for. Resolving this issue by the concerned authority will not only reduce stress for candidates but also ensure a fair and efficient recruitment process for aspirants and unemployed youths.
May the government and the departments look into it so that no aspirants are left behind as every aspirant has the right the right appear for a public service exam/departmental and that exams are not scheduled on the same day.
