Example: The following advertisement appeared in the Daily Newspaper, 'The Hindu' on Saturday, May 22, 2010 (Pages 10 & 11)
“A.3/Pers(Rectt)PMS-Advt/BSF/2010: Ministry of Home Affairs, Directorate General of border Security Force (Personnel Directorate: recruitment Section)”
11 categories of posts numbering 283 vacancies (subject to change) with details like Grade Pay, Age Qualifications, Physical Standards, Medical Standards, Age relaxations, Detailed Selection Processes for constables etc., Method of applying for the post, Full application form, Admit card form, Caste Certificate form, Chest Measurement form B.C Certificate form et al.
Totally the ad was running into the newspaper’s one and a half full pages. God knows at what expense – may be a few lakhs of rupees (considering the space and the advt. rate charged by the paper management)?
The government departments can in fact give a small ad stating the general information on the authority putting up the ad for the vacancies along with a clue/key for obtaining all the relevant details separately either from their offices in person or by post or on the web-site. This way the page-size ad in several newspapers spending lakhs and lakhs of rupees can be avoided.
