NBCC discontinues interviews for junior-level recruitment

The National Buildings Construction Corporation Limited (NBCC), a blue-chip Navratna  enterprise under the Ministry of Urban Development, has done away with interview system in its selection process for the posts of ‘B’ and ‘C’ categories of employees in the company.

According to a press release, the initiative comes into effect with its policy decision to dispense with interviews for the posts of junior engineers, draftsman, executives, office assistants, stenographers and translators. The release said NBCC is probably the first public sector enterprise to adopt this change in line with the Government’s advice to discontinue the practice of interviews for junior-level recruitment.

Anoop Kumar Mittal, CMD, NBCC, said, “This is a positive stand that the company has taken after many discussions with various authorities and gauging the viability of the change.”
