PMEP(Prime Minister Employment Program) is a program launched by Nepal government in order to create and offer employment opportunities for the unemployed and economically active chunks of population in the country which guarantees income security. This. in other words, is the extension of social protection policy in Nepal and is an integral part of the Social Protection Floor (SPF) which aims to address the situation of working age people who are unemployed, as mentioned above, or are not receiving social benefits. For this program, the first phase is the recruitment of Officer and Nayab Subba. Under the Recruitment of Officer and Nayab Subba, first the online applications and then the exam was to be held. Then the selected officers and Nasu have to collect the data of unemployed people and ensure their employment.
For this purpose a website was hosted under www.pmep.gov.np. The whole website and e-recruitment system was developed on php/CI.

1.The website was hosted on C-panel.
A huge number of people tried for online application even on first few days resulting slow connection. So the online application was stopped for a while and switched it to virtual hosting with unlimited space. After that there was no problem on both phase-1 and phase-2 online applications.
2.At the first day of exam in phase-1 due to slow server connection, the exam of province 1 was shifted and scheduled for next day. The other schedule remained as it was, with no difficulties.
As a developer I feel proud to be engaged in pmep erecruitment. Pmep itself is a big project going on in the country and this e-recruitment is a big initiation for it.
