Plea in Delhi HC for centralised system for application process

In order to make the application process for examinations and jobs accessible to all aspirants, a PIL in the Delhi High Court on Wednesday asked government for a centralised system for notifying and applying for colleges and government jobs.

A division bench of Chief Justice G. Rohini and Justice Deepa Sharma would hear, on May 5, the plea, which suggested to make two centralised websites -- one for listing college entrance examinations and the other for listing all government/public sector undertaking (PSU) jobs.

The plea filed by Puran Chand Arya through advocate Abhishek Kumar Choudhary suggested facility of uploading educational/official documents on the centralised websites through logging in so as to avoid forgery and malpractices.

The petition stated: "It should be compulsory for all universities/central and state government departments/central and state PSUs to list their admissions/recruitment notifications on these websites."

It added: "These centralised websites should allow an aspirant to create their 'Login ID and password', to upload educational documents, certificates, photographs, signatures and other documents for all current or future applications. These Login accounts may also be linked with the aspirants' Aadhaar card details."

The petitioner also asked that admit cards and call letters be made available on the centralised portals so that aspirants can download them before the examination and late receipt of admit cards can be avoided.
