"The decision is one of the most landmark reforms in the history of the subcontinent since the year 1947. The reform shall bring with it ease of recruiting, selecting, placement for jobs and will also make the living easier for certain sections of the society that had always been at some or the other disadvantage," added Singh.
In an interview with ANI, Dr. Singh mentioned that "the reform like this was long due and the youngsters, who would enter the working force soon would surely be benefitted by it."
"Setting up the committee, to conduct the Common Eligibility Test(CET) for the primary selections to government agencies is a step which is indeed revolutionary," added Union Minister Dr. Singh.
"The step is a revolutionary reform, carried out by the personal intervention of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The step shall surely relax the recruiting process, make selecting the candidates easier and would ease the candidates by every manner," added the Union Minister for development of Northeast regions(Independent Charge).

The scores of the test shall remain valid for a total period of three years, from the date the result has been declared. The best scores of the exam shall count to be the valid score for the candidate. Any candidate can appear for the exam multiple times until the upper age limit has not been met.
"At present, the exams for three recuritment agencies have been made common and in the coming years to come, other agencies of the government too would be having common exams," added Jitendra Singh.
This will bring ease of recruitment, ease of selection and thereby ease of living for aspirant candidates. It will provide level playing field, a great boon particularly for economically deprived who cannot afford travelling to multiple centres, youth in far flung areas... 2/4
