Srinagar, June 29: In a shocking revelation, the question paper set by J&K Public Service Commission, for the post of 10+2 computer science lecturers was shamelessly 100% copy-pasted from two websites namely "PS Exams and India Bix".
The aspirants who appeared in the said examination said that PSC had given particular syllabus for concerned paper, but after seeing the question paper, it came to fore that the paper setter in computer science had hardly touched irrelevant topics and bypassed the 90% syllabus.
"Out of 120 questions asked in the computer science paper, 104 questions have been copied from "PS Exam website" and 16 questions were copied from "India Bix website". This question paper was already published on these websites which reflects upon the professionalism of PSC," said one aspirant, who wished not to be named.
Aspirants claimed that commission had made mockery of the exam for the post of 10 +2 computer science lecturers which was held on June 26, 2016 across various centers in J&K. Instead of setting paper through noted professors and educationists, the authorities at PSC have copied 100% of the questions from these two websites.
"Not even a single question has been changed. I was shocked when I saw same questions on these websites," said another aspirant, Waseem Ahmed. " PSC has made cruel joke to us" Waseem added.
While admitting the fact, Secretary PSC Shakeel Ul Rehman Rather, "I don't rule out, this might be possible that the paper setter had copied the entire paper from the two websites. It is up to paper setter, PSC has no role to set the paper for concerned exams. There is a procedure if there is 10 % out of syllabus we can conduct re-exam for computer science paper," Shakeel said.
As per the norm, most of the examination bodies set question papers independently so that all candidates get a fair chance of answering the questions. Recently, the PSC had invited severe criticism for copying 83 percent questions from a particular book for aspirants during the examination of 10+2 lecturers in English subject held on June 5 this year. |
