He said the aim behind the portal is to ease the burden on job seekers so that they save time and energy from applying across multiple platforms.

Chairing a high-level meeting at the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) in North Block here, Singh emphasised the government’s commitment to streamlining the recruitment process and enhancing governance through technology-driven reforms.

He instructed the creation of a ‘single job application portal’ to ease the burden on job seekers and save their time and energy from applying across multiple platforms, according to a Personnel Ministry statement.

Singh said that the average recruitment cycle time has been reduced from 15 months to 8 months, with further reductions planned in the coming days.

He also directed officials to establish standards and guidelines for conducting computer-based tests, ensuring a level playing field for all candidates.

The minister also took stock of Mission Karmayogi, noting that as of date, nearly 89 lakh ‘karmayogis’ have been onboarded.

The National Programme for Civil Services Capacity Building or Mission Karmayogi was launched in September 2020 to foster civil servants’ capacity building.
