Lateral entry is the form of recruitment normally considered for :

  • A.Lower level positions
  • B.Middle level positions
  • C.Higher level positions
  • D.Lower and middle level positions

Answer: C

Lateral entry is normally considered for higher level positions.

Lateral entry brings in specialists from outside the regular service, from the private sector, academia or other organisations, directly at senior or middle-to-senior levels, to supply expertise that the career service lacks. In India the government invited applications from 2018 for lateral entry at the level of Joint Secretary, and later at Director and Deputy Secretary, in central ministries.

Lower positions are filled by regular direct recruitment of young entrants, which is the normal career-service route. Lateral entry is useful precisely where specialised, mature expertise is needed, which is at higher levels.
