Discontinue personality test in KPSC recruitment: Congress leader
Congress leader S.A. Hussain has requested that the Karnataka Chief Minister remove personality tests from the KPSC recruitment process. He argues that interviews lack transparency and that merit should be determined solely by written performance.
Why it matters
This reflects ongoing debates regarding administrative reform and the fairness of government hiring practices in India.
Congress vice-president S.A. Hussain has urged Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar to discontinue the personality test in Karnataka Public Service Commission recruitment . The selection should rest on written performance, he has suggested.

Andhra Pradesh and Telengana have removed it, and the Union Government has abolished interviews for Group B, C and D posts, he said.
