Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) interviews free of discrepancy

Patna, Sept,1: If any one facing an interview conducted by the Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) he can be rest assured of the impartiality of the board members holding the interview. For, the BPSC does not provide the candidate's personal details, like candidate's name, fathers name, category information etc, of the candidates to the board members.

BPSC had introduced this system in the 47th combined competitive examination for Bihar administrative and allied services, the new system particularly aims to nullify even the remotest possible chance of bias on the part of board members.

The Personal details of applicants may lead to some bias as it sometimes reveal his/her caste and other information about his/her background, but absence of such information would not allow any bias to creep in at the time of interview what candidates have alleged in past .

The board members who are involved in interview are not permitted to ask name or father's name of the candidate during the course of interview and for them the candidate's only identification is his/her roll number.

The BPSC conducts basket of examinations to select aspirants for prime jobs in the Bihar government and it is probably first such body in the country to have introduced such a system.

"Some of the board members resisted the idea initially claiming that lack of identification might create problems during the course of the interview, but after conducting the interview they changed their views and one of them opined that the system should also be introduced at the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC)," this is what the BPSC officials said to the media way back when they effected the norms make interview free and fare.

Incidentally, BPSC has introduced yet another system which pertains to inviting experts from outside the state to conduct interviews. While the board is headed by one of member of BPSC, other members are invited from reputed institutions like IITs, Delhi University (DU) etc. 

The retired bureaucrats, and educationists who have served in other states, are invited to the BPSC interview board. The commission also ensures that every time there is an interview, new faces are invited. The BPSC has sealed the remotest possibility of candidates having any link with board members so it looks like a fare deal.

BPSC is not only wanted to be transparent in its functioning rather it also wants to be visible to the candidates

BPSC 53rd -55th Examination Update, Paper Checking, Number of Vacancy, Result, Scaling Information

Patna, Aug, 23: The 53rd to 55th BPSC Combined Civil services Examination to recruit at 741 premier posts under various offices of state government were successfully conducted between May 26 to June 14 at various centers at Patna.

About 15000 candidates were participated in the Mains examination amongst them 2000 candidates will be invited for the interview because according to circular of BPSC 2.5 times candidates against the number of are declared successful for the final stage.

The numbers can go higher in case if few candidates have same marks on cut off line and further vacancy get added into the recruitment list as it happened in 48th 52nd BPSC examination when 19 education services vacancy was added even after declaration of mains result.

Paper Checking Process: BPSC forging ahead with its plans to check the papers as soon as possible given the size of the examination about 105000 papers to be checked before result will be declared .It is a mammoth task before BPSC to effectively execute their plans in timely manner.

As per latest information available General Studies and Hindi Compulsory Papers has been checked and Optional are getting evaluated at brisk pace.

The result will be declared one month after completion of paper evaluation because decoding and preparation of merit lists preparation is a time consuming process.

Given the trend of the previous year when 48th 52nd Mains Examination was held in May -June and result was declared in February taken total seven month.

It was learned that Candidates positively expect the result in November -December 2012 because this time BPSC looking to finished the process at faster speed because government has indicated that that before general election of 2014 56th to 57th BPSC will be finalized.

Patna High Court also asked the clarification from the commission that why BPSC is conducting multiple batches together, however BPSC filed their reply by saying that it was the Government decision which was approved by Bihar Cabinet.

Cut Off For The 53rd 55th Mains examination: The past trend of BPSC suggest the cutoff to land between 725 to 750 but given the current condition backed by record number of vacancy (741), Clash of BPSC and JPSC mains examination schedule, busy season of UPSC -CSAT, UPPSC PT, RAS PT and Decision of BPSC to tame the abnormal marking pattern in some selected subject under the lights of Patna High Court Query will have their strong say in cutoff.

Considering the previous trend and current situation cut off could land below 700 marks.

Scaling Matter: The buzz is rumoring that the BPSC will adapt scaling system to tame the abnormally higher marks in the certain optional paper however it is not possible because BPSC conducts examination through a well laid circular any change in the process of examination needs change in the current circular so it is obvious that scaling is not in the reality.

But given the interest of Patna High Court eye in abnormal marking matter BPSC certainly mulling to get rid of this issue by directing the examiners to take while evaluating certain optional.
