Lateral Entry to the post of Join Secratory

I do not feel that this would have come as a surprise amidst the vocal discussions going around about lateral hiring in civil services. The advent of this may result in a new trend where governments will fill the top posts with people of their coterie thus dumping the idea of civil servants neutrality.

The lateral hiring can be done through an exam which will test an individual's expertise in the particular field (and not a generalist exam). It should be ensured that the lateral hires works WITH the existing civil servants and do not veto them. They can perhaps be to JS what JS is to ministers.

A faulty move.Decrease seats in CSE and opening a new front lateral.It wont help the government but paves a way for larger corruption.
And procedure for selection is interview only.

Lateral entry per se wouldn't affect 90% of us, if it's kept to the highest levels of the Central govt. The average age among the previous generation when they got in was around 22-23, now it's 27-28, no one who gets in at that age would rise so high imo, since promotions are based on seniority and not objective.

That said, we all knew this had to happen, we are taking a leaf out of the administration of USA and the like and bringing in private hands. This would no doubt lead to further partisanship and horse trading, but let's not turn a blind eye to how the average bureaucrat beyond the districts is already a cynical and toughened player, who has no qualms about bending the rules. Of course, there would be an Ashok Khemka or two, but they are the exception, not the norm.

There is no way they can extend this to the districts imo, these corporate and think tank types with their fancy Oxford, Harvard, LSE backgrounds would rather die than leave the comfort of their all air conditioned life away from Lutyen's Delhi. Hopelly, this would increase the number of promotee IAS too, for too long I was biased about State PCS largely thanks to my academic background and bloody corruption in the exam process( our chairman got arrested last year, dozens of toppers are in jail now, so maybe for next 1-2 years it would be merit based), but the more I grow older, the more the realisation strikes that there's no guarantee that you even get to clear Upsc prelims, given the trend these days.
