Overwhelmed Indian officials are struggling to sift through applications after 2.3 million people applied for a few hundred low-level government jobs, a sign that too many people may be chasing too little work in Asia's third-largest economy.
It would take more than three years to interview candidates.
The jobs pay 16,000 rupees ($334) a month and would involve making tea and passing files between government offices.
Requirements for the 368 jobs include having finished primary school and being able to ride a bike.
The applicants included at least 255 people with doctorates and 150,000 graduates.

This process of hiring a few hundred people, would employ a fair few people for the hiring process....even down to building/supplying the chairs for the waiting room.
