In a significant update for job seekers across multiple states, the final submission date for Special Intensive Recruitment (SIR) applications has been officially extended. This decision impacts Puducherry, Goa, Lakshadweep, Rajasthan, and West Bengal, providing much-needed relief to thousands of aspirants who were racing against time.
The extension comes as a direct response to overwhelming demand and logistical challenges faced by applicants. Government officials confirmed that the new deadline allows candidates additional time to complete their online registrations without compromising the overall recruitment timeline. For Puducherry and Goa, where initial deadlines had already lapsed for some categories, this move ensures broader participation.
Rajasthan’s SIR drive, one of the largest in recent years, targets thousands of vacancies in police and other departments. Similarly, Lakshadweep’s remote islands benefit immensely from the prolonged window, easing connectivity issues. West Bengal’s extension addresses technical glitches reported on the portal during peak hours.
Experts view this as a pragmatic step by state administrations to maximize talent pools amid competitive job markets. ‘It’s a win for inclusivity,’ noted a career counselor in Jaipur. Candidates are urged to check official portals immediately for precise new dates, varying slightly by state—typically pushed back by 10-15 days.
This development underscores the government’s commitment to fair recruitment processes. As applications pour in, authorities are ramping up server capacities to handle the surge. Stay tuned for further updates on exam schedules and document verification phases, which remain on track.
