After the government's 2016 decision to abolish interviews for Group B and C central government posts, many prestigious exams now select candidates purely based on written test performance. This makes the process more transparent and fair. Key exams with no interview include SSC CGL (most Group B and C posts), SSC CHSL, RRB NTPC, Railway Group D, SSC MTS, and Post Office GDS. Even for some state exams like TNPSC Group 4, there is no interview — only a written test and marks-based merit list. Candidates who perform well in written exams but struggle with interviews find these opportunities especially attractive.
