In what could possibly be one of the toughest selection processes for a job in the world, only nine out of the 14,231 candidates who appeared for the three-tier examination for recruitment of junior division civil judge in Haryana have made it past the first two levels.
The Supreme Court took note of the extremely rigorous standards and sought a response from the Punjab and Haryana high court. It also asked retired SC judge A K Sikri to randomly check answer sheets of the 1,195 candidates who took the main examination.
In response to an advertisement issued by the Punjab and Haryana HC in March 2017 inviting candidates to appear in a three-stage screening-cum-examination system — preliminary, main and interview — 34,000 law graduates applied for 109 posts of civil judge (junior division), which is the entry-level post in judiciary. In August 2017, the number of posts was reduced to 107.
Of those who applied, 32,230 were found eligible to take the preliminary examination. The exam was held nine months after the date of advertisement and only 14,231 took the preliminary test. On January 16 this year, the HC shortlisted 1,451 candidates from among those who appeared.

Of the shortlisted ones, 1,282 candidates were found eligible to appear for the main exam conducted by the Haryana Public Service Commission.
On April 11, the results were declared and just nine were picked for the interview. The final stage of the recruitment process is not complete and yet more than 99% of candidates who appeared for the test have been eliminated.
Thus, out of 34,000 who applied, only 0.026% were held eligible for the interview, and out of 14,231 who actually appeared in the preliminary examination, only 0.06% succeeded in getting through the two-tier process and went through to the interview round.
After a petition brought the matter to its notice, the SC sought a response from the Punjab and Haryana HC and asked its registrar general to be present in court.
On Friday, senior advocate Maninder Singh and advocate Prabhas Bajaj appeared for the HC and gave statistical details of the examination to a bench of Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi and Justice Deepak Gupta. Singh agreed to an independent scrutiny of the evaluation system and the bench asked retired SC judge A K Sikri to randomly check answer sheets of the1,195 candidates who took the main examination.
