just sharing. I just got accepted in a stat board.

-2 weeks for first interview after application
-shortlisted me for 2nd interview the following week
-2nd interview scheduled 3 weeks later, offered the following day
-3 weeks for medical and clearance

total time from application till start date is around 2.5 months. So yea pretty frustrating experience but the job seems to be worth it

and weirdly the only organizations which called me for interviews have separate portals from the careers@gov website (I have only applied govt jobs)
