Starting January 2027, Group-C non-technical posts under District Selection Committees will no longer require interviews. That’s right; no more nervously rehearsing answers, no more panel grilling, no more subjective judgment. Just written exams and merit. And it’s not random; this is part of a larger reform, following the same change made earlier for Group-D posts. Chief Minister Conrad Sangma says it’s about fairness, transparency, and reducing delays. Technical roles? Still get interviews. But for clerks, assistants, and other non-technical roles? Your score will decide your fate. The state’s also rolling out a new SOP for all DSCs, with training for deputy commissioners and officials, aiming to bring consistency across districts. This isn’t just about cutting red tape; it’s about making government hiring more predictable, faster, and less intimidating for ordinary candidates. If other states follow, this could spark a quiet revolution in India’s job market. One exam. One chance. No hidden filters.
