Women were primarily considered as only home maker, but now they are giving competition to men in almost every field. They are now working in Multinational Companies at senior positions. Despite of several efforts made by the Government, not many women are participating in competitive examinations. This is the problem which the recruitment agencies like SSC and IBPS are facing. Women candidates are plagued by the question that are Staff Selection Jobs Good for women?
Through this article, we are going to discuss this question in detail. This will surely help the women aspirants in getting the answers of all their questions towards the jobs provided through SSC.
Government Jobs are considered as safe and secured from always as these offer sense of security, higher pay packages and several other benefits to the employees. Candidates recruited on these jobs can reach to higher job positions in a very less span of time by performing well in their jobs and by clearing departmental examinations. Apart from this, these employees also enjoy higher reputation and social status. But this sector is still male dominated, which stops several women candidates in taking part in the recruitment procedure of these jobs.
Staff Selection Commission conducts recruitment examinations through out the year to recruit the candidates for several Group B and non-technical Group C positions. All these jobs are for middle level to junior level posts in administrative functions of different government ministries and departments. Recruitment on these posts is done through recruitment examinations, which provide equal opportunities of getting selected to both men and women. Reservation benefits are applicable for both women and men aspirants. The jobs offered SSC are a great way for the female aspirants to become a part of Government machinery and administration. Through these they can also contribute in the development of the nation.
Employees in these jobs get several chances of getting promoted to higher positions in less time. They get promoted to higher posts on the basis of experience and seniority. The employees are promoted not only in the terms of post and compensation, but also in terms of responsibility and authority.
In spite of several efforts made by the government, the participation women on these posts has not increased significantly. To inspire more and more women candidates to participate in these examinations, government has put several provisions in place. Some of them are as follows:
Female candidates are exempted from paying the application and examination fees for SSC examinations.
SSC also offers certain relaxation in the upper age limit to the women candidates. Widows/Divorced Women/Women judicially separated and who are not remarried(Unreserved/General) get relaxation of 5 years, Widows/Divorced Women/Women judicially separated and who are not remarried(OBC) get relaxation of 8 years and Widows/Divorced Women/Women judicially separated and who are not remarried(SC/ST) get relaxation of 10 years.
By looking at the above mentioned points, we can clearly see that SSC jobs for women have more benefits than associated disadvantages. Therefore, we can conclude that SSC jobs are not only a secured career option for the candidates but also a stable career option.
