JPSC, All is not well

Ranchi,June,16:Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC) which has earned new name of Jungle Public Service Commission because of their style of working and mass level of malpractices that they have done which is recently surfaced through the Vigilance Inquiry .

The commission has the long history to rescheduling, cancellation of examination and manipulation of results. The recently conducted JPSC -III who is known as the fare deal of the JPSC has thrown several surprise as the students who appeared with tribal language has got 380 marks in 400 marks, this is not with the single student this has happened with the bunch of the students who has got such type of marks.

It is well known fact for the applicants 60% marks is known as the one of the excellent benchmarks and if someone scores in their optional and GS papers he will secure good ranking in the examination.

The successful candidate who got selected in the JPSC -3 has great unevenness in their marks because in one optional they had secured about 85% marks and in other paper they are hanging around 40% -50 % this is the most common cases with the several selected candidates, so it is very tough to believe that all is well in this result.

As far as tribal subject is concerned it is well known among the students that there are few teacher who running coaching classes in tribal language in Ranchi and same people are associated with the examination process of the JPSC as the question setter and evaluator as well. These teachers are selling the marks so the candidate who approaches them with unfair means are getting 80 % to 90 % marks which increases the chance of clearing the mains examination for them

Recently one of such teacher is held by the Vigilance Police who has also found some document associated with such malpractices.

The case is quite funny at Hazaribagh Police Training College ,where DYSP training is going on some instructor who is giving them training had said that the quality of the selected candidates had deteriorated sharply some are good and some are so bad they can’t even write the spelling of Explosives.

The great challenge is here to conduct the free and fare examination for the JPSC because at every level corruption is deep rooted. The names of examiner are generally leaked by the JPSC to the beneficiary and such person directly approaches to the examiner to buy marks for them. There are no systems that cross check the papers so this is almost impossible to find out the culprits.It is the only the comparative performance in other paper gives doubt over the successful candidates.

UPSC,CSAT Change was Inevitable Cut-Off Count Down Begin

Initially UPSC surprised with the decision that it will do away with optional paper and will introduce a new paper of aptitude testing in the preliminary examination from current year.The series of surprises didn’t stop there and IAS (Pre.) papers are a testimonial to this. First the number of questions in the GS reduced from 150 to 100. Second the CSAT paper was inclined towards reading comprehension. Actually, 50% of the CSAT paper consisted of reading comprehensions questions only. There were 80 questions in the CSAT paper and for 8  of decision-making problems, there were no negative marks. It can be concluded that UPSC is in the middle of major reforms in the Civil Services Examination process and aptitude testing will play a big role in the selection of candidates for civil services.

The message from commission is loud and clear that CSAT has become very important to them. There were hardly any factual questions and the paper tested an aspirant on conceptual understanding of various topics of general studies. It would not be right to say that the paper tested a candidate on General Studies Aptitude. In GS, each correct answer fetched two marks and for an incorrect answer, there was a penalty of 0.67 for an incorrect answer.

In terms of distribution of question, maximum questions were from Science and Technology (21 ), Economics (20) and geography (18) respectively. One very bold mention in the syllabus was Ecology. Close to 10 questions were from ecology and ecosystems. The question paper was complex and it required a very clear sense of reading to decipher the exact meaning of the questions. This fact is underlined by the presence of three statement (25) and two statement questions (14). Going by the level of the paper, one can infer that a net score of 80 Marks should be required to clear the paper.

The distribution of questions in the General Studies Paper is as follows:

CSAT (Paper-2) — The first CSAT paper was replete with challenges for one and all. The paper had a heavy inclined towards comprehension. Almost 30 questions of reading comprehension were in Hindi and English and around 10 questions were from reading comprehensions, which were in English language only. Most of the reading comprehension questions were inferential in nature and required a thorough reading of the passage. There were 8 questions of decision-making and exactly on the same pattern.
