The CET was earlier scheduled to be conducted but was delayed due to the pandemic. Union Minister Jitendra Singh on Tuesday while speaking to PTI at the launch of e-Book Civil List 2021 of Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officers said that CET is a path-breaking reform carried out by the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) to bring about "ease of recruitment" for young job aspirants and it will prove to be a major boon for youth, especially those living in far-flung and remote areas.
