- Prepare These Technical Topics Thoroughly
- PPS-9 CISO → CISSP concepts, ISO 27001, NIST framework, penetration testing
- ML/DevOps → Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines, Python, TensorFlow
- GIS → ArcGIS, QGIS, remote sensing, spatial databases
- Project Management → PMBOK, Agile, Scrum, MS Project
- Practice Common Interview Questions
- “How will you secure the ministry’s data against ransomware?”
- “Explain a situation where a project was failing — how did you turn it around?”
- “What is your experience with government PSDP projects?”
- Reach Out to Current/Previous Employees on LinkedIn: Search for “Ministry of Planning IT project” and politely ask for insights — many are happy to guide.
- Apply Early: Applications submitted in the first week have higher chances of proper processing.
