Reserve Bank to pick talent via UPSC-like test
i. The Reserve Bank of India will adopt a common recruitment system from next year to tap talent for its core functions. The larger objective is to strengthen itself in the changing economic scenario.
ii. “Starting from 2015, there shall be common recruitment for all core functions of the bank,” the RBI said in an internal report on HR initiatives.
iii. At present, it recruits officers and support staff for core and non-core functions through different examinations, such as the Grade ‘B’ officers level exam. The RBI now has about 17,000 employees.
iv. The proposed common recruitment will not only cover traditional areas such as economics and statistics but also include niche skills, such as risk management, financial markets trading, accounting, legal, human resources management and counselling.
v. The officers that are recruited will have a common seniority. In effect, it will be like the common cadre under the All India Services of the Union Public Service Commission.
vi. The Reserve Bank Services Board hopes to complete the entire recruitment cycle within three to four months.
