KABUL (SW) – Officials at the General Directorate of the Administration of Affairs say that during the current lunar year, 10,000 vacancies in the Ministries of Urban Development and Housing, Mines and Petroleum, Public Works and Technical and Vocational Education Department, Kabul Municipality and a number of other departments , will be up for grabs.
Mohammad Youssef Ghaznavi, head of appointments and provincial affairs of the Administration at Administrative Reforms and Civil Services Commission told Salam Watandar that they are ready to take an electronic examination from 70,000 to 100,000 applicants for these 10,000 vacancies.
He added: “In the three quarters of this year, 10,000 jobs will be open to competition, of which we are ready to take the electronic test from 70,000 to 100,000 applicants.”
The Department of Administrative Reforms and Civil Services has held an electronic test for 23 vacant positions in the Ministry of Refugees and Returnees on Tuesday.
Madirgol Ahmadi, head of human resources of the Ministry oof Refugees nd Returnees Affairs, said during the exam: “For the 23 vacant positions of the Ministry of Refugees and Returnees Affairs, 300 people have registered and among them, 211 people have been found to be eligible.”
However, a number of participants of the electronic exam who passed the exam say that there is no transparency in the face-to-face interview of the vacant posts.
Nik Mohammad, a planning student from Kabul Polytechnic University, said that he had previously passed the vacancy test of the Ministry of Urban Development and Housing but after that, transparency was not ensured in the face-to-face interview by the Administrative Reforms and Civil Services Commission.
He adds: “My suggestion is not to grade the interview at 50% or to give it a low grade, and secondly, that the winning persons who have the highest grade should be included in the task for the sake of transparency, and if the exam is taken after the electronic exam that means there is doubt about it.
In the same way, Sami, a student of Balkh University’s School of Construction Engineering, wants the Islamic Emirate to provide job opportunities for young people. He adds that his right may be lost in the face-to-face interview.
Sami says: “We believe in the electronic exam process that our score will not be affected but we doubt that our grade will be lost in the face-to-face interview.”
Officials of the Administrative Reforms and Civil Services Commission, however, say that there is transparency in the electronic examination for vacancies in government offices and also in taking face-to-face interviews.
Abdulhanan Arifullah, the head of the Administrative Reforms and Civil Services Department, says: “There is no example of lack of transparency in the electronic exam, and today this meeting is for the same reason, so that the right goes to the rightful.”
It should be mentioned that based on the statistics of the Administrative Reforms and Civil Services Commission, after the rule of the Islamic Emirate, more than 6000 vacancies in government offices have been up for grabs for which more than 30 thousand people have registered and out of this more than five thousand people are assigned in different departments.
