Sub: Short listing of candidates for the interview of Asst. Librarian

Respected Madam,

I would like to apologize for encroaching your valuable time for the submission of the following points.

It is learnt that for the selection of the Asst. Librarian a short listing of candidates is done on the basis of their place of working. Those who are working in the University and Collage set up are allowed to appear before the interview board on 17/01/2014.

In this regard, I would like to mention few points-

That, the criteria for the applying for the post was NET/PhD of UGC regulation 2009. Obviously there may be flooded with lot of applications. It is also leant that those who are working in the central schools, state school, DIET etc with NET are not considered for short listing of interview. The competent committee have the absolute right to fix a criteria to minimize the number of candidates for easy interview, and may have it was in their mind that candidates working at University or Collage set up are much more competent and experience than that of others. I honour their views.

But, here I have also something to mention regarding this short listing criteria. There are hundreds of Central Govt. schools and other institutes which provide fully automated barcoded modern library services, enviable to many colleges in terms of infrastructure, resources and services. Many of them are selected from All India Recruitment Test.

As the motto of the Presidency University is to be a global leader in education, hope it will take a little bit pain to hire the best human resources. If the number of candidates are unmanageable for conducting interview, kindly think about a written test followed by group discussion/interviews/personality test and skill test to hire the best human resources.

I consider a job is not to engage an unemployed to save him from hunger rather it is the best services a candidate offer to the organization for achieving heights to organization where he engaged and for that compensation he gets.

Therefore, I request your good self to re-consider the short listing criteria on the basis of employment. Potential, energetic, experienced, competent candidates are also working in the other sectors.

Lastly, I would like to mention that if others are also given the opportunity to showcase their talent and vision, the candidates you are looking for may be here. The University will get the best human resources and mutually the most suitable candidates also will get the opportunity to be associated with you to achieve the goal.

Thanking You

Yours faithfully
