| Failure of JKPSC to make public answer key, leaving aspirants in dark | | No proposal in pipeline | | Akshay Azad
JAMMU, Oct 4: By not making public the answer key of Combined Competitive Examination (CCE) preliminary examination 2013, the Jammu and Kashmir Public Service Commission, it seems, is still functioning as an organization, which has failed in keeping pace with the changing times.
Several KAS aspirants informed Early Times that even Union Public Service Commission, which conducted National Eligibility Test (NET) across country, made public the answer key after few days of the test. "Making public the answer key of NET, clears all doubts of aspirants and if answers given in the key are wrong, the candidates can give representation to concerned quarter", aspirants said.
Putting a question mark over functioning of JKPSC, aspirants lamented that in absence of answer key, they have to rely on various keys loaded on social networking sites by aspirants.
"The options given in replies to questions of various subjects were wrong which had left aspirants in oblivion. If JKPSC will make answer key public, the aspirants will get chance to confirm their answers and it they would have find that the replies given by JKPSC in answer key would be wrong, they will have a chance to give representation", they said.
Another aspirant questioned that what was the problem for JKPSC to make public the answer key?. "Various agencies across country are making public answer keys public, which clears doubts among aspirants and also brings transparency in recruiting process, but JKPSC has not even think about such development", they said.
JK Public Service Commission, Examination Controller TS Ashok said that for making the answer key public, an amendment in Business and Conduct rules of JKPSC was needed. "Though the discussions for the amendment are on, but final decision has not been taken so far", he said, adding that the applicants have the right to make representations within 72 hours of the test.
"This time we have received around 10 representations", he said. |
