So, they spend all that time cramming for the exam, and presumably pass it and enter the civil service. Is there any requirement for follow-on and continuing education? Because I can see that if someone does all that learning, but then just stops, that could be a problem.
- zunlun 11y agoThey are put through a rigorous program at the National academy of administration before entering service. Considered to be an extremely fine institution.
- chiph 11y agoWhat about 15 years later? Things in the world have changed. Are they required to stay current with the changes, or do they continue to work using old information?
- balladeer 11y agoAs I've said earlier - it's an "enter one, you are set for life" job. After the interview, which is the last stage in selection, you are set. Even the training is not somewhere people are rejected.
- balladeer 11y agoShort answer - no. They go to a training institute which is indeed a fine place but mostly in the sense of its colonial glamour and hangover. And that's it. Some of them, who are later selected for joint secretary roles for the central Govt, go back for another short training. The point is, the training is more of a tradition. No, I am sure they are taught and trained there but it's done because it's been done every year. So, the answer is still - no.
