Editor,
NEIGRIHMS had recently released various posts for recruitment. However, the candidates have received their admit cards with the exam city and centre just three days before the exams. Many of our local candidates have even been allotted exam centres outside the State.
I fail to understand how an institute like NEIGRIHMS cannot arrange for exam centres in and around Shillong for local candidates.
I also fail to understand how an institute that has its own examination department and Controller must outsource the recruitment process to an outside agency from outside the State.
Further, I fail to understand how, even if it is outsourced, NEIGRIHMS cannot make proper arrangements for the local candidates.
Moreover, such short notice of three days’ information makes it hard for candidates to travel to the exam centres outside the State, or for those studying and working elsewhere in the country.
NEIGRIHMS must take this seriously and ensure sufficient exam centres in the State otherwise it would be better to hold offline examinations.
I am forced to the opinion that this is a shady thing that is being done, either for selfish gain or out of an anti local attitude.
