After Maharashtra, it's Uttar Pradesh's turn to hire Post-graduates and Graduates for menial jobs

In June 2016, we reported about MPhils and postgraduates applying for the post of porters in Maharashtra Public Service Commission, a job that only required the basic primary education. Looks like Uttar Pradesh is all set to beat Maharashra’s record in hiring well qualified people for menial jobs.

As per reports, as many as five lakh aspirants, including a number of graduates and post-graduates, have applied for 3,275 posts of sweepers in Kanpur Municipal Corporation, a post that requires no educational qualifications. As per officials from the municipal corporation, the number of applications could go up to seven lakh.

Out of these 3,725 posts, 1,500 are for general category and rests are meant for reserved categories.
