Hours of Registration :
The registration of job seekers would be allowed during all the working hours of the working day. A notice to this effect may be displayed suitably for the information of visitors.

Procedure for Registration at Employment Exchanges :
The registration process should start with the Employment Officer and not with clerks. Since the impression created among the applicants at the time of their first contact with the Employment Exchange generally influences their attitude, the impact of the registration procedure, where the first contact is with the Employment Officer, will help to create great confidence and goodwill among them.

At the commencement of each day, the applicants who have collected at the Exchange for registeration will be given a brief talk by the Employment Officer in which the services rendered to the applicants including registration and renewal procedure, employment trends job opportunities, shortages and surpluses of manpower, training facilities, educational courses, etc. will be briefly explained with a view to motivate the applicants and reorient their approach. The contents of this short talk may be modified from time to time to suit the requirements of majority of the participants. In smaller Exchanges, where there may not be enough applicants to form a group, or, where applicants call on one by one almost through-out the day, the information should be given individually. Wherever possible, educated fresher should be arranged into homogenous groups and given a further talk in which information relevant to the group should be explained in grater details.
