A FEW weeks ago various permanent posts lying vaccant in the Competition Commission of Pakistan, Islamabad, were advertised.
I and a number of my friends applied for the posts, including those of deputy director and assistant director.
However, after getting no response when I called 051-9100260-3 for inquiry about the posts, I was told all interviews had been already conducted.
Surprisingly, neither I nor my any of my friends received interview letters. In spite of meeting the eligibility criteria, we were not called for interviews.
This is a violation of merit and also makes the entire selection procedure a suspect.
The authorities concerned should look into the matter.
