it is not much important for government job.if competitive candidates has same experience and qualification with other person. it will be an added value.
not only the government job but also the purpose of availing these certificates to research work
Dear Ms. Mala A.
Thanks for your post and the issue you have raised. As I noticed there are two different types of items that you have mentioned. One is participation in Trainings/Workshops and the other is presentation of papers in Seminar/conferences and their impact in government jobs.
Well, coming to the first issue, certainly they add to your credit and ideally speaking not only in Govt. jobs but also beyond them!!
The certificate are documents in establishing your statements made in your CV. ( I presume you mention undergoing such Training Courses/Workshops in your CV) Never-the-less, they are proves of your expertise as well. So, in that way, they are always important. However, please keep in mind that not all trainings exert same weightage. The nature of the Trainings and especially the organizations/forums imparting such Trainings/Workshops matter to a great extent.
Publications, on the other hand, are another feature of your expertise which, by and large corroborates two things simultaneously; It reflects your depth of knowledge and also (reflects) your academic traits and professional excellence as well as your professional caliber! As I Understand the UGC has made norms to provide points for publications for recruitment of Senior Library Professionals in Universities. Importantly, UGC has made provisions for various types of publications. However, it is also a fact that unfortunately in many cases (in many places including govt sectors as well) such endeavors are not considered with the importance they deserve. Still, admittedly, in case you have a number of quality papers (papers in journals known as quality journals) at least some of the interviewers will raise these issues in your favour. So it is always advisable to be selective.
Sincerely,
