Kathmandu, Dec. 31
About
451,526 Nepali citizens applied for jobs opened while 4,007 applied via online
system for internal promotion in the last Fiscal Year 2019/20, said the Public
Service Commission (PSC).
In
its annual report submitted to President Bidya Devi Bhandari on Thursday, the
PSC mentioned that 93,012 candidates (35,866 females and 57,146 males) sat for
the competition for civil service. Likewise, 154,002 females and 152,317 males
participated in exams for local services.
Only
14.2 per cent candidates vying for the posts of officer and non-gazetted first
class officer could make their way to the second phase of selection. No
candidates passed in the competition for 12 posts. About 304 candidates were
recommended for permanent appointment in the civil service while the number in
local levels was 8,639.
“Since
many exams were halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the number has shrunk
compared to the previous years,” said the PSC.
It
advertised for promotion to 4754 posts, 92 internal competition and 157 open ones.
In
a statement issued after the report submission, the constitutional body hoped
that it would have a new team to run it after the term of the current
management expires on 23 March.
