Union Minister Dr. Jitendra Singh has hailed the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC)’s innovative ‘PRATIBHA Setu’ initiative as a transformative platform offering alternative career avenues for Civil Services aspirants who narrowly miss final selection. The initiative is being seen as a significant step in talent utilization and employment generation.

PRATIBHA, short for Professional Resource And Talent Integration, and Setu meaning bridge, serves as a structured interface between qualified aspirants and prospective employers across both public and private sectors. It targets candidates who successfully cleared the Civil Services Examination written and interview stages but were not included in the final merit list.

Dr. Singh, who holds multiple portfolios including Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Science and Technology and Personnel, was briefed about the platform’s growing traction during a meeting with newly appointed UPSC Chairman Dr. Ajay Kumar. The Chairman informed the Minister that 113 organizations have already been onboarded to the platform, with more showing interest in accessing this well-assessed talent pool.

Calling the initiative a “forward-thinking approach,” Dr. Singh noted that many private organizations are now reaching out to the Commission to engage with this group of highly capable candidates. He said the platform is emerging as a “meaningful gateway” for aspirants to translate their knowledge, skills, and years of preparation into rewarding careers beyond the traditional civil services route.

Developed from the earlier Public Disclosure Scheme introduced in 2018, the revamped PRATIBHA Setu moves beyond passive candidate listings. It now offers a secure and interactive platform where verified recruiters can register, log in, and directly approach non-recommended but willing candidates from various prestigious UPSC exams—including Civil Services, Indian Forest Service, Engineering Services, and Combined Medical Services, among others.

The system ensures transparency, credibility, and data protection while excluding exams like NDA, NA, and some departmental competitions. It has been widely welcomed by aspirants, many of whom now see PRATIBHA Setu as a vital second chance to pursue impactful careers.

As the UPSC approaches its centenary in 2026, initiatives like PRATIBHA Setu reflect the Commission’s evolving role not only in recruitment but also in national human resource development. Dr. Singh emphasized that the initiative benefits not just individual aspirants but also meets a wider institutional need for competent, pre-evaluated talent.

With increasing stakeholder engagement, PRATIBHA Setu is poised to redefine how we bridge talent with opportunity,” said Dr. Singh, adding that such steps will help build a more inclusive and efficient recruitment ecosystem in India.
