No interviews for hiring secretarial staff: Sebi

Markets regulator Sebi has said it will not conduct interview and group discussion for recruiting secretarial staff and accounts as well as library assistants.
Now, these positions will be filled only through written examinations.
"...Interview and/or group discussion shall not be conducted for the purpose of recruitment of whole time employees other than officers," Sebi said in a notification dated December 15.
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has classified whole-time employees as secretarial staff, accounts assistants and library assistants.
Earlier, Sebi used to conduct interviews and group discussions for recruiting these staffs.
The new rules would become part of Sebi (employees' service) regulations.

Earlier this month, Sebi had introduced a new pension scheme for its permanent staff members. Prior to that, the regulator did not have any pension scheme. However, Sebi offers the facility of provident fund (PF) to its employees.
