Re: [LIS-Forum] Selection of Internal Candidates in the Interview

Thanks to all professional colleagues who shared their views on this important topic. I have some few observations : 1. As Mr. Mishra said that there is shortage of technological advanced manpower. It is not true. In India, it has been seen that we are deliberately emphasizing that there is a shortage of quality manpower in every field whether it is teaching, librarianship or any other. It is ridiculous to say because India has a population of 1.25 billion. There are lakhs of brilliant persons are unemployed, but due to lack of proper recruitment system we are unable to get these people. 2. I am 100% agree with the comments given by Moorthy Sir. But the question is that if there is internal candidate who is meritorious and deserving, then call only 6-7 candidates to full fill the procedure. In reality, institutions are calling 70-100 candidates for this process. Recently one of the prominent institute in Delhi has called 70 candidates for one post of AL in SC category, while it was known to most of the candidates that internal candidate will be selected. Though it was different matter that the candidate was deserving. 3. Many times it has also been observed that in-spite of having meritorious internal candidate, external candidates are selected due to political pressure and sometime it is also happening that after the selection committee meeting, interview results are changed. These both the situations were faced by me also. And due to these manipulations, we are lacking quality people in Library science. If we really want quality people in this profession or in whole academics, than we have to start our recruitment process through SSC and UPSC.

Dear all professionals, I am also fully agreed with Mr. Vinod Kumar Mishra. It was there, it has been there, and it will be there. But yes, it is true that many institutions/organisations do have some interview procedure also advertisement procedure for the sake of their point to show UGC or concerned authority. It has to be done by the institution. For example, UGC/AICTE granted institution need have librarian with NET/SET qualified. Sometimes they are taking non NET/SET candidate and putting advt. each and every year to show that they are not getting NET/SET qualified Librarian in their organisation and leting the existing librarian to continue. If we see this one side, it is also good for those who are really good and qualified but don't have NET/SET. Regards,

Dear All,

My view is what is the professional status i.e. capability of selected internal candidate so our strength of protest should be accordingly because so many external candidates also selected with the help of internal jack and their performance is very very poor. Therefore we should see the reputation & growth of that particular organization because of the selected candidates performance and then we can point out on their policy of recruitment.

However now a days as far as library science is concern i feel that their is lack of devotional and technologically advanced manpower. Choosing the best out of poor is grate challenge for good recruiters but it is very easy for poor recruiters.

Dear Friends,

Since last few years a trend is increasing to select the internal

candidates against open post. We have been witnessing that written exams

and interviews are conducted to fulfill the whole process. But

pre-determined candidates are selected. Examination process is just an eye

wash. Nobody will deny for selecting the internal candidates, but don't

make other candidates fool. If there is no promotion policy in the

institutes for internal candidates who deserves for that post, then

promotion policy should be formulated for them. The candidates coming from

various places of the country are hoping that somebody from them will be

selected, but they don't know that result has already been prepared and

they are just wasting their money as well as time.

I have been witnessing case of one of the prestige institute of Library

Science in India since last five years. Most of the time, they have

selected the internal candidates. The question is that, why they are

calling number of candidates for the interview and wasting public money by

giving TA to the outsider candidates.

Please give your feedback on this issue.
