There is a written exam and then an interview for government jobs like UPSC, SSC, State Civil Service Exam, Police Recruitment, Teacher Recruitment. After this, selection takes place. Only after hard preparation, the dream of the candidates to get a government job comes true.

Many questions arise in the minds of the youth regarding government jobs, the biggest of which is that if the name of a candidate has appeared in an FIR lodged by someone with the police, will he get a government job? Let us try to find the answer to this question in this news.

If you are preparing for a government job and there is a police complaint against you or a case is going on or there is a criminal record against you, then whether you will get a government job or not depends on many facts and rules. This decision is taken keeping in mind the situation, nature of the crime and the rules of the job. However, if you are preparing for a government job, then it is better for you to stay away from any kind of controversy and criminal cases.

How does it affect government jobs?

Police verification is a must before appointment in government jobs. By doing this process, the criminal record of the candidate is known. If you have any kind of criminal record in your name, any case is registered, any case is going on in the court or you have been convicted, then it can affect your chances of getting a government job.

The nature of the crime is also seen, such as minor crimes like petty fights, breaking traffic rules, settling the matter by paying fine… there is still a possibility of getting a job in such crimes. However, if the crime is serious like murder, robbery, rape, fraud, corruption, then you are disqualified from getting a government job.

What is the provision if the case is in court

If there is an FIR against you and the case is going on in the court, then you can get a job in some departments. But there is a clear rule on your offer letter that the court's decision should be in your favor. On the other hand, if you have been acquitted in a case, then you will have to prove that now your record is clean, then on this basis you can get a job.

In some cases, candidates may get exemption after completing the sentence and can apply again. If you are asked about your criminal record while applying for a job, always tell the truth. Giving wrong information may also lead to loss of job later.
