UPSC forms in demand as techies look for greener pastures

"If recession pushed a large chunk of youth towards PSU jobs, it was the Sixth Pay Commission implemented by the end of 2008, that further added to the numbers. "

Demand for government jobs has shot up considerably this year going by the number of aspirants rushing to fill up UPSC forms. There has been nearly a 100 per cent rise in the number of people seeking the forms this year, with many techies among them planning a sarkari turn in their career.

If recession pushed a large chunk of youth towards PSU jobs, it was the Sixth Pay Commission implemented by the end of 2008, that further added to the numbers.

Officers Academy, a coaching institute that trains people aspiring for public sector jobs, has found the demand for UPSC forms doubling as compared to last year. UPSC covers a large number of central government jobs including Indian Administrative Services (IAS), Combined Defence Services (CDS) and the banking sector.

The Academy also found that until 2008, the stock of UPSC forms at post offices in the city was sufficient to meet Hyderabad’s demand. Now there is a massive shortage. “At the General Post Office (GPO) alone there is a demand for over 12,000 forms while their stock is nothing more than 5,000 to 6,000,” said Capt. R Sircar, director of the Academy.

GPO officials confirmed this data and said that the rush for applications this session has been unexpected. “September to January is the peak time for sale of UPSC forms and we get about 1,000 (approx) forms every month. Unlike other years, this time the demand seems to be way more than the supply,” said E V Rao, chief postmaster of the Hyderabad GPO. He said that the GPO had received about 5,000 forms in mid-January and had to later call for another 2,000 after agitated UPSC aspirants gheraoed the GPO on Thursday due to the unavailability of forms.
