JPSC is open for redressal of grievances of students: Examination controller

Ranchi, Dec,7: Surrounded with allegation  with corruption, JPSC once again assured the prospective applicants of resurrecting the errors in questions and their answers and published a corrected model answer sheet in 4th Civil Services PT examination. But even the so-called corrected model has many discrepancies and candidates.

The students those could not make it to the mains are blaming the JPSC for deliberately doing it for favoring the candidates of their choice.

According to the experts of the JPSC , the governor is the chairman of the state civil services is a true option (answer of Q no 25 in set C of political science paper) and the headquarters of G-15 is in New Delhi and not Geneva ( answer to Q no 84 in the same set).

In an another answer Karl Marx found the state to be an instrument of capitalists to exploit the working class, the JPSC experts feel otherwise that according to Marx, the state came into being to end exploitation of the poor (answer to Q no 62 in the same set of the paper).

According to a applicants, there are more than 6 answers in the recently released model answer sheet that are wrong. 

As per them, while it is an established fact that C Wright Mills coined the term "elite power", the JPSC answer sheet says it is V Pareto who did it which is wrong. Similarly, the answers of question nos. 18 and 69 are also wrong, he added.

Same problem is visible in subjects like Sociology, Law, PA, Geography etc where as much as 30 answers are wrongly quoted in the revised answer sheet.

This is really surprising to see the institutions like JPSC is unable to make 100 question and their correct answer.

The commission is also facing allegation of repeating majority of questions from UPSC previous year examinations.

Though the results of the 4th state civil services exams are out, candidates who could not make it are finding it difficult to digest the irregularities and are planning to take legal actions for scraping the results. Former chairman and many other members of the JPSC are already behind bars for allegedly committing mass irregularities to favor the candidates of their choice and their family members.

JPSC controller of examinations Bal Mukund Jha said the candidates should have intimated the irregularities in the revised answer sheets to the JPSC as the commission is open to redressal of grievances.

"If any such complaints come to us, we will certainly refer it to experts on the panel of the commission," he said.

Told about the wrong answers, he said though the responsibility of revising the answers was given to a renowned teacher of the state. "Even if we know it, we can't do it on our own. It has to be referred to the experts," he added.
