Panaji: State govt has announced that candidates applying for various posts, where computer knowledge is compulsory, should have a computer course certificate of minimum six months duration issued by a govt-recognised institute.
This comes as a major breather to job seekers who do not possess knowledge of computers, to attain one, ahead of the massive recruitments in the offing.
Govt has decided to implement its order from Nov 2025. It is planning to conduct recruitment ahead of the assembly polls in 2027.
The changes in recruitment rules are not applicable to those candidates who have completed a diploma or degree in computer science, information technology, electronics and telecommunication, electrical and electronics from a university or a state board for technical education.
“It has been observed that recruitment rules of various posts specify knowledge of computers and departments follow different procedures to ascertain computer literacy,” Raghuraj Faldesai, under secretary, personnel department, said.
Faldesai said that to streamline the procedure to ascertain knowledge of computers, instructions have been issued.
Chief Minister Pramod Sawant said that only experience certificates issued after completing an apprenticeship or internship are valid for govt jobs, and not any other experience certificates.
He said that the govt will not employ anyone without an experience certificate.
