Post-Increase Benefits – Key Advantages for Candidates
Hanuman Kisan, President of the Rajasthan Berozgar Union, emphasized that increasing existing vacancies is a more efficient and beneficial strategy for candidates than initiating entirely new recruitment cycles.
- No fresh application needed – Candidates already applied do not need to submit any new form.
- No new exam – Since exams are already done or ongoing, no additional exam burden.
- Saves 1 to 1.5 years – A fresh recruitment process takes 1–1.5 years; this shortcut saves that time entirely.
- Reduced competition – In all three recruitments, competition per post has dropped by nearly half.
- Earlier appointment – Selected candidates can expect timely appointment letters without further delays.
- Fair to existing candidates – Those not selected in earlier cycles would have had to apply fresh; now they get another chance within the same process
