Civil Svc/ Statboard - Typical Timeline for making a Hiring Decision

they may not have chosen other candidates yet... could be the case where they have 2/3 candidates shortlisted and they will request all 3 to do clearance/medical forms...

g50 process takes q a while, so they might start the process even before making an offer

ok that makes sense. Thanks!

Also because G50 is a determining factor on the final hiring decision
If you can't pass G50. They won't even hire you even if your the best candidate. Which is why even before the interview they have u fill it up.

Kinda like a selection criteria also

there are definitely many (valid) reasons why your prev job is not good but i think to future employers the first impression counts quite a bit! anyways in this job market having some financial security will definitely be a big plus too...

For now, just keep a lookout for any other job openings that might catch your eye and apply when they come.... be patient with yourself... all the best!!

Thanks for advise. Yeah. I saw a mnc has new role opening and going to try.
Just backup plan in case clearance or final offer hiccups.
Because I really want to leave current job.

I had applied to a ministry and was asked to complete a medical health questionnaire two weeks after the final interview. I was also told by HR that I was further shortlisted pending admin clearances and to inform them if I have other job offers or decide to withdraw my application. So does this means they are in process of clearance for the hiring approval? By the way, the HR didn't mention any word of "job offer". Thanks

which ministry is this?

sounds like there is a chance that they are preparing to offer soon. did they ask you anything else like are you still interested etc?

but of course, best would be to ask them directly what is the status / next steps.... all the best!

Hr asked me to fill up a form which requires details of spouse and birth certs of kids if below 12 years old one day prior to interview. Is that part of g50?

Does G50 only applies to ministries? Or can it also apply to stat boards, organs of states, etc.? I don't think the majority of roles require G50 clearance, is that correct?

G50 is for if you handle government data.
Don't need to be ministry or sb or etc to be qualified for g50

As long u work or work with something to do with govt all need clear g50

Interview at star board, what to wear? Need jacket plus tie?
