UPSC EPFO EO/AO 2020 Recruitment: Does ‘Desirable Qualification’ matters?

UPSC EPFO EO/AO 2020 Recruitment: Does ‘Desirable Qualification’ matters?

Recently, 421 vacancies applications have been invited for the post of UPSC EPFO EO/AO 2020. Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) conducts the exam for its recruitment. For this UPSC has given a detailed syllabus and the exam is scheduled on 4th Oct 2020.
Who can appear for the examination?
Any graduate can appear for this examination, provided he/she has filled the application form and must have attained the age in between 21 to 30 years.

Does the 'Desirable Qualification' make any difference?
The desirable qualifications enlisted in the UPSC EPFO EO/AO 2020 notification, do not make much difference in the final selection. Technically, many students do not fit into the desirable qualification criteria. Moreover, many candidates do not belong to any commerce background, still, get selected.
Indeed, they have an edge, not only in terms of knowledge that they hold, which would benefit them in the written examination but in the interview as well. There is no prohibition for aspirants from Science and Arts, as it is not the mandatory criteria. During the interview, in the 'Detailed Application Form' of a candidate, these things are mentioned, and questions can be asked from these.

Therefore, not only aspirants form Accounts or Commerce, but students of many fields get selected. The only advice would be for such candidates that put little more efforts, overcome limitations as we have enough time to prepare (the exam is in Oct 2020).

Who is having an edge in this examination?
In this examination, there is an edge for those aspirants who have been preparing for UPSC CSE. Most of the topics coincide with this examination. UPSC CSE being a prestigious examination keeps the good level of difficulty for questions. Even one has a good command over two-third of topics, then also stand a good chance.
UPSC aspirants have an edge, but that should not be a reason for complacency. And this should also not be a reason for dejection among those who are not preparing for UPSC CSE. Not only UPSC, but students of every field prepare for this.

The interview is the medium to check the candidate's personality, more than judging aptitude or knowledge. Diverse questions are asked derived from the information provided in the Detailed Application Form (DAF). Candidate must know about oneself, his/her background, the educational qualifications and good command of the job done in the past. Also, have a fair idea about the organization aspire to join. Research the job role for which applied.
Finally, general interview etiquettes concerning personal grooming, dressing, gestures, body language, etc., matters a lot.
