Centre to recruit private sector specialists as joint secretaries, directors and deputy secretaries

The Centre has decided to recruit private sector specialists as joint secretaries, directors and deputy secretaries on contract basis in its different departments, an official said on Tuesday.

The Department of Personnel & Training (DoPT) has asked the Union Public Service Commission to recruit such specialists through "lateral entry" mode in 12 government departments/ministries, he said.

Lateral entry refers to appointment of private sector specialists in government departments. Usually the post of joint secretaries, directors and deputy secretaries are manned by officers of all-India and Group A services, among others.
