The Valpoi Municipal Council had published a notice listing the candidates who had applied for the post of driver. The written exam was held on Sep 27, 2025 and the results were declared on May 23, 2026. Of the 26 candidates, six appeared and of these one failed and the others obtained between 58 and 65 marks. The minimum prescribed was 40 marks. The successful candidates will have to undergo a skill test. Hopefully this will be conducted shortly and the result will be declared soon before the candidates find a job elsewhere. It is concerning that when a job was available, a majority of the candidates did not turn up. Either they were disinterested or not prepared for the written test. People blame the government that there are no jobs or these are being 'sold' or given under influence. But when a transparent process was in place to recruit drivers, there was a poor response.
