It seems that when you apply for government jobs, they take very
long to reply to you.
I and my friends have applied for goverment jobs before and have
to wait for like 2 to 3 months later than get called up for
interview. After interview have to wait to go for medical checkup
than wait for the result which takes about another 2 months to
complete than can start work.
So from the day that I apply until the day that I officially
start work is like have to wait 5 months.
