As per existing instructions, the period of reckoning sports achievements for recruitment against sports quota under Talent Scouting Category is current and/or immediate previous one financial year. But, due to covid pandemic and nationwide lockdown, most of the national or international championships didn’t take place last year.

The condition for reckoning sports achievements for recruitment against sports quota under Talent Scouting Category has been considered by Board and to give a fair opportunity to sportspersons for recruitment under Talent Scouting Category in 2020-21, it has been decided that the sports achievement for this category may be reckoned for the previous two financial years, same as that for the recruitment under Open Advertisement category.

This also disposes of SERSA’s letter No. SERSA/ Recruitment/ TS&OA/ 2020-21, dated 15.01.2021.
