Corruption Envelopes JPSC Aspitants Urges CBI Probe


Ranchi, July, 7: Students-turned-activists are desperately launched the move to clean the sullied image of the Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC). The State’s civil services aspirants, under the banner of the Chhatra Jagran Manch, have adopted multiple modern technological means to get the “sufferers” bring together under single roof. 

Aspirants, struggling hard to revamp work culture of the JPSC, are messaging their peer examinees to raise their voices in favor of a probe by premier investigating agency of the country CBI besides demanding a recruitment process minus corruption, nepotism or favoritism of any kind.

“Join us against JPSC corruption by ensuring your participation in mashal julush on Tuesday at 5 pm... ‘Now or Never’,” reads the SMS that has been circulated among the civil service aspirants across the State. Following the call, a number of students participated in a deliberation, walked in the torch rally upto Raj Bhavan and sat in protest before the JPSC office.

Aspirants are calming that nothing is going to happen by state vigilance probes because it is under the state government ambit and the relatives of the ruling alliance are benifited by the JPSC. The organization held a meeting on June 29. The mashal julush was on July 2 , and  on July 7 they staged a protest before the JPSC office.

The union has been particularly baffling against recent High Court’s order quashing suspension of a candidate, Mukesh Mahto. “We think that the Government did not present its views correctly in the High Court. There is some connivance between those in the Government and the probe agency. The nexus could not be broken unless an independent CBI inquiry is ordered. We afraid that with present style of functioning anyone would found guilt ever,” said Ajay Chaudhary, coordinator of the forum to the media.

A delegation of the aspirants also submitted a memorandum to the newly appointed chairman of JPSC Shiv Basant seeking his interventions.Basant, while responding to the “genuine” demands of the students, has assured that now onwards all the examinations conducted by the commission would be free and fair in nature. He also assured the delegation that he would place demand for CBI probe before that Government that in turn can take final call into the matter.

“He said that he cannot do anything about the happenings of the past but assured that no malpractice would be tolerated in the future and cent per cent transparency in the examination process would be maintained. He also hinted that agencies hired by the UPSC for conducting examination processes may be employed here as well,” the chairman reportedly complained about lack of working hands in the JPSC .

The results of the fourth combined preliminary examination is pending even after more than three months of the exam. Issue of repetition of multiple questions in couple of subjects is still under consideration with JPSC.

Over 4 lakh aspirants applied for the IAS, out of which around 11,000 will be selected for the mains.

Paper-I followed more or less the previous trend of UPSC PT, however number of question has been reduced to 100 from earlier 150.

Paper-II, was the newly introduced paper had 80 questions from General Mental Ability, Comprehension, Interpersonal and Communication Skills, Basic Numeracy, Decision-making and Problem-solving, Logical Reasoning and Analytical Ability.

The students finds themselves in tricky position as the negative marks has eroded their marks to significant level.

The choices of General Study paper were quite close that increased the doubt in the minds of the participating and led to error while handling the question.

Similar situation was in the Aptitude paper where students find themselves quite comfortable after the examination but post examination matching of answer slides them down.

After the wide spread survey among the participating students we found the average score of serious students remain somewhere between 160-165 marks.

As per student performance matrix and history of UPSC the magic number is coming close to 200 marks for General candidates which will give sense of security to the student in the given situation.The cut off will be decided after combining the Paper I and Paper II.
