Applicants of BPSC is still waiting as Justice Tripathi is not in office
Panta, Dec,12:It seems from case list of Patna high court that justice jay Kumar Tripathi who is hearing the case of JPSC 53-55 PT is on leave.
Because his name is not appearing in the daily roster of the High Court so students have to wait some more time.
The judgment will only will declared once he will rejoin his office.

He graduated in Economics (Hons.) from the reputed Sri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC) and studied law at Campus Law Centre, Delhi University.

UPSC Civil Service Mains Examination Change in Final stage
New Delhi: The UPSC who has revamped the pattern of Civil Services PT examination by introducing CSAT which is conducted to select candidates for prestigious central services such as IAS, IFS,IPS,IRS and others. Now it is looking forward to bring some serious changes in the mode of 'main' examination as well with effect from 2013.
A high power expert panel has been constituted by commission to suggest desired changes in the pattern of Civil Service Main Examination.
Currently there are three stages in UPSC Civil Services exam- 'preliminary', 'main' and interview. UPSC chairman D P Agrawal revealed that the commission has now constituted a panel to look into the matter.
He made it clear that commission will ensure that aspirants’ from several languages, communities and culture are judged on the basis of in-depth understanding and knowledge.
CSAT was introduced in 2011 by incorporating elements of aptitude test and minor change was brought in 'main' exam in 1933.
An 'essay' paper carrying 200 marks was also introduced for judging aspirants' knowledge of chosen topic and presentation skills.
This change by the UPSC, however did not satisfied the desired purpose of bringing candidates opting high scoring science subjects at the same level with those opting humanities and languages as optional papers in the main exam.
An official said that getting good marks in science/medicines/engineering papers is easier than getting high scores in language papers. Therefore the existing system judges the candidates unfairly.
Moreover, the existing system is inclined towards short-listing those aspirants who are good at their 'subjects' rather than having general knowledge. This pattern does not test candidates' administrative and managerial skills.
The ARC has recommended in 2008 that UPSC should only keep two compulsory papers (general studies) and an essay paper for 'main' examination and there should not be any optional subject.

Patna HC Keeps Guessing the Student in 53-55 PT Case
Patna, Dec, 10: Patna high court has kept the BPSC aspirants guessing as every morning expectation of judgment takes birth and with sunset it dies.
Students are getting frustrated of with the waiting game some are saying "justice delayed is justice denied" and some are buying the idea of "justice hurried is justice buried" but end result is waiting game for the students.
No one likes uncertainty either it is exam taking body like BPSC or the students, they trapped under the vicious cycle of Indian justice system.
No one cares about the students for court this is only a case despite of completion of hearing court is buying time but they don’t understand that how important is time for the students.
Civil services dream of A visually challenged girl remains tied up
New Delhi,Dec,10:A visually challenged girl who cleared the UPSC Civil Services examination in 2008 is still struggling to get her appointment to one of the most coveted cadre jobs in the India, continues her fight to enter the system even as valuable time flies by.
Despite favourable judgments by the Central Administrative Tribunal(CAT) in October 2010 and the Apex Court on January 28, 2011, following which the UPSC recommended her name for appointment, bureaucrates of the country continue to plague 29-year-old Purnima Jain's entry into a job she attained after much hardship.
The Indore-resident also met Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on November 29 along with CPM politburo member Brinda Karat to apprise him of her long struggle for a well-deserved job. “This is gross discrimination by the Department of Personnel and Training against brilliant students. The DoPT's attitude is that where are we going to place people without normal eyesight. Instead of congratulating and rewarding such students, you make them lose years of valuable public service they could have otherwise offered. The Prime Minister said he was not aware of the issue facing such students. He promised to rectify the injustice caused to Ms. Purnima and others,” recalled Brinda Karat, on the meeting Ms. Purnima and six other qualified candidates, had with Dr. Singh.
In a memorandum to PM Manmohan Singh, Ms. Purnima wrote: “I, Purnima Jain, am a visually impaired (VH) girl (partially blind). I am a law graduate with 80 per cent marks. I have done M.A. in Public Administration and have qualified N.E.T and J.R.F in Public Administration…I appeared for Civil Service Examination 2008, and secured 1,123 marks. The UPSC had given me excellent marks in interview - 210 marks out of 300-and yet did not consider me for selection.”
Ms. Purnima said the last person who got selected in 2008 had scored only a total of 991. “I wish to bring to your notice that I am the only VH female candidate securing higher marks. I also wish to assert that despite talent and having performed so well I have been unreasonably denied the success which I duly deserve to get and still remain unemployed. As the matter has been delayed by about two years, this requires an urgent intervention by you and, therefore, a prompt and timely action shall be of great help to me,” Ms. Purnima said in her memorandum.
“Sir, I have lived my dream to become an IAS officer and have pursued it as the purpose of my life. Today my eyes seem to have become the enemy of my dreams. I shall be highly obliged to you, if the process of my appointment to the Indian Administrative Service or Indian Foreign Service is expedited to help facilitate this blind girl and shall be thankful to you all my life.”
Ms. Purnima said that going by the provisions of Section 33 of the Persons with Disabilities Act, 1995, there were to be nine seats reserved for visually challenged persons in 2008 but the UPSC selected only four persons.
“Though the CAT order had raised my hopes by directing the UPSC to act within six months to appoint me, their inaction even after a year of the judgment is unpardonable,” Ms. Purnima added, wryly pointing out that another World Disability Day had just gone by.
UPSC Civil Services (Main) Examination is next on the reforms agenda
New Delhi, Dec, 10: The UPSC Civil Services (Main) Examination is next on the reforms agenda to execute it UPSC has constituted an expert committee to suggest changes in the pattern of Civil Services (Main) examination.
The decision comes after the change in Civil Services Preliminary Examination 2011.
The alteration in the preliminary exam pattern weren’t as drastic as commission had originally hoped. This was the reason why the Union government was reluctant to change the name the preliminary test as the civil services aptitude test.
At the 3rd UPSC foundation day function, UPSC chairman said the changes had been well received as they provided the candidates a level playing field leading to improved quality of selection.
Chairman — who has been pushing reforms at the commission — went on to announce that the UPSC was looking at changes that needed to be made in the Civil Services (Main) examination as well as other exams.
“Consistent with the need for selecting the right kind of person from a huge pool consisting of multiple languages, creeds, culture and communities, the commission has now constituted a high-power committee to suggest possible changes in the pattern of Civil Services (Main) Examination,” he said.
Chairman also said that the commission’s endeavor was to ensure that “candidates are judged on the basis of in-depth knowledge and understanding rather than information gathered at the last moment.”
In six decades, UPSC has selected nearly 5 lakh candidates after examining over 46 million applicants which is equal to the population of South Africa or England.
Minister of State for Personnel and PMO V. Narayanasmay supportrd that the recruitment policies of the commission needed to be reviewed and revised to make recruitment faster and also to ensure induction of the civil servants with the right aptitude.
Chairman agreed, pointing that the UPSC was looking at other examinations to bring them in tune with the present scenario of country’s development and aspirations.
Similarly, he said, the UPSC had recommended an alternative system to the government to improve the process of induction of civil service officers from different streams into the All India Service.

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.

JPSC Working Style left Various Questions
Jharkhand Public Service (JPSC) the premier recruiter of Jharkhand Government who trying hard to come out of the mess of 4th Civil service examination but their every good efforts to make a fair and transparent system is getting ruined by the inefficient support from the other supporting body that helps to conduct the examination that includes question setters who has earlier copied the majority of the questions from the UPSC previous year question and provided faulty model answer to the JPSC.
The scaling method which is well accepted by the expert that it is erroneous and doesn’t gives real picture so it was dumped by UPSC in their IAS examination has adopted by the JPSC and became the centre of storm as it has awarded more than maximum marks to the students.
JPSC gone right to cancel the previous result and published fresh result based on the new model answer prepared by the separate expert but they have provided wrong answer again in several subject including sociology, Political Science, Public Administration, Geography, Mathematics etc.
The basic problem with JPSC is that they gone for change but they dont have proper infrastructural support to execute the change, in their earlier PT examination they were setting only qualify marks to select student for the mains.
JPSC act without the blue print is quite disappointing for the works of constitutional organization like JPSC.
Recent result has also spoiled the sentiments of the student the way things are going on with the recruitment process with JPSC since its inception creates doubts over the efficiency and requirement of such organization in Jharkhand.
Jharkhand is a poorly governed state struggling to execute public work due to lack of administrative officers but JPSC failed to give fair appointment.

Bihar to get Special Staus
New Delhi, Nov 24: The Central Government on Wednesday said it was not feasible to give special category status to Rajasthan,Orissa and Goa, but the request of Bihar for the status is under consideration.
In a written response in the Lok Sabha, Minister of State for Planning Ashwini Kumar revealed that a delegation from Bihar had presented a memorandum to PM Manmohan Singh in July 2011 for requesting the state a special status. An inter-ministerial Group has been constituted on September 8 to evaluate the Memorandum.
At present there are 11 Special Category States namely Arunchal Pradesh, Assam, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, Manipur Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim, Tripura and Uttarakhand.
Ashwini Kumar said the special status was given in case a state was categorized by a number of features necessitating special consideration. The features on which spl status is awarded include: hilly and difficult terrain, low population density or sizeable share of tribal population, strategic location along borders, economic and infrastructural backwardness and non-viable nature of state finances. Bihar matches all the criteria set under Dr. Gadgil formula for the need of special attention to a state
The special status opens vaults of union government for the state in the form of 90% assistance and none lapsing of fund.
After the separation of Jharkhand from Bihar on November 15, 2000, mineral resources which were the prime revenue source have gone to the Jharkhand and the state is left with nothing.
Bihar is on the path of development and special status to Bihar would not only propel the growth of the state, but also assist in the development of the country.

Protest Intensifies in Cairo's Tahrir Square
Cairo, Nov,22:Thousands of people rushing into Tahrir Square at Cairo's for what protest for the "million man march." People are demanding that the Egypt's military rulers must give the power to a civilian authority.
As crowds inched into the Tahrir square Egyptian Field Marshal Mohamed Tantawi was holding a crisis meeting with political leaders - a round of emergency talks aimed at preventing further clashes between security forces and protesting people. State television says he will deliver address the nation later Tuesday.
Television video from the Tahrir square has shown demonstrators waving huge Egyptian flags and chanting slogans.
Many protesters seen holding a coffin that is said to contain the body of a demonstrator killed in an earlier rally. Health Ministry of Egypt says at least 29 protestors have died in agitation over the past four days, during clashes between security personals and demonstrators. Three people died on November 21 in the Red Sea port city of Ismailiya.
The protestors are the largest to take place in country since anti-government agitations forced Hosni Mubarak to resign in February this year. The protests are unfolding ahead of parliamentary elections set to begin on November 28.
Islamist group of Egypt, the Muslim Brotherhood, and four other parties were expected to attend todays's deliberations, but there has been no indication the youth groups driving the protests would take part.
Amnesty International has also accused Egypt's rulers of brutality sometimes exceeding that of Mubarak. Hundreds have been injured nationwide during the unrest

Scaling is the Root Cause of JPSC PT Result Saga
The scaling is the statistical parametermer utilised by the exam conducting body to moderate the exessive advantage of the perticular subject in the examination.
The methodology has developed by the experts who has mase a software to handle the data of students.
Union Public Service Commission was doing scaling system prior to CSAT adoptation but now they have dumped due to its faulty output that was killing the merit but this is still followed by the UPPSC,RPSC,JPSC is different from.
UPPSC follows standard deviation method to balance the result for its examinations, the UPSC’s scaling method was based on the Normalized Equi-Percentile (NEP) method for the optional objective type papers in the Preliminary Examination.
The Normalised Equi-Percentile(NEP) method was followed by the UPSC. NEP method is based upon the assumption of comparability among candidates taking various optional subjects. It is fair to assume that the mental ability of asparants in all optional subjects are about the same at very score range.
For an example that top band of any optional candidates are comparable in ability to the top band of other candidates. This assumption extendes to other score range such as 10%, 15%, 20% etc. Thus, it is possible to statistically adjust the scores in various optional papers .
As the number of students for each subject is large it is reasonable to assume that the scaled marks should lie on a normal distribution curve. For the normal distribution curve of every optional subject, mean of 150 and standard deviation of 30 have been taken.
The scaled scores are computed using the standard Statistical Tables-Areas under the standard normal curve-Annexure II (Colly). It also contains the statistical tables-areas under the standard normal curve as given in Schuam’s Outline Series, Theory and Problems of Statistics SI(metric) edition.
At any given conditions Normalized Equi-Percentile will never exceeds the maximum marks .JPSC has adopted wrong formula that inflated the scaled marks to beyond maximum marks . candidate obtain more than 100% marks,under Normalized Equi-Percentile .

JPSC struggling to find the way
Ranchi,Nov,20:Struggle of JPSC to find the amicable solution is still on, despite of getting the expert panel report on correct answer.
The confusion is mounting among the students because the new model answer certainly show the exit way to the several sucessful students as more than 100 question in all across 24 optionals are found wrong in JPSC Model answer.
However it is still unclear that what JPSC will do with the erronious scaling methology that has inflated the marks of the student more than total marks.
Applicants are asking to withdraw the scaling system and adapt proportional representation as per optional subject.
It seems the sociology optional people will suffer most because as per sources about 30 answer were corrected.
Even the minor diffrence in the new marks will change the chemistry of the result.

2. Read carefully the passage below and write your answers to the questions that follow in clear, correct and concise language:
'Water is the basis of all life. Every animal and every plant contains a substantial proportion of free or combined water in its body, and no kind of physiological activity is possible in which the fluid does not play an essential part. Water is, of course, necessary for animal life. While moisture in the soil is equally imperative for the life and growth of plants and trees. Though the quantity necessary varies enormously with the species. The conservation and utilisation of water is thus fundamental for human welfare. Apart from artesian water the ulimate source in all cases is rain or snowfall. Much of Indian Agriculture depends on seasonal rainfall and is therefore very sensitive to any failure or irregularity of the same. It is clear that the adoption of techniques preventing soil erosion would also help to conserve and keep the water where it is wanted. In other words, on and in the soil, and such techniques therefore serve a double purpose. Its is evident, however that in a country having only a seasonal rainfall an immense quantity of rain-water must be necessarily run off the ground. The collection and utilization of water is therefore of vital importance. Much of it flows down into the streams and rivers and ultimately finds its way to the sea. The harnessing of our rivers. the waters of which now mostly run to waste is a great national problem which must be considered and dealt with on national lines. Closely connected with the conservation of water supplies is the problem of afforestation. The systematic planning of suitable trees in every possible or even in impossible areas and the developement of what one can call civilized forests as distinguished from wild and untamed jungle is one the most urgent needs of India. Such plantation would directly and indirectly prove a source of untold wealth to the country. They would check soil erosion and conserve the rainfall of the country from flowing away to waste and would provide the necessary supplies of cheap fuel and thus stop unnecessary waste of farmyard manure.
Questions:
1. Where does the world get water from ?
2. What is the national problem relating to our rivers ?
3. What are the benefits of afforestation ?
4. What is fundamental for human welfare ?
5. What are the advantages of preventing soil erosion ?
3. Make a precis of the following passage in about 204 words. It is not necessary to suggest a title. Failure to write within the word limit may result in deduction of marks. The precis must be written on seprate precis sheets provided, which must then be fastened securely inside the answer book. 75
'While all the religious teachers tell us that compassion gives us a motive for existence, a guide for action and a reason for courage and help us to diminish the sum of human suffering, in the very name of God, who is all compassion, abominable crimes have been committed in the world. It is not enough to believe in God of love but we must love. The rains that makes the lower plains fertile are formed in the upper layers of the atmosphere.
The saints are the masters who are not stained-glass figures, remote and ethereal in their sancity. There is nothing in them, which we would like to spread everywhere in the world. It is there but what it is, we cannot say. It is there in their blood and bones, in the breath of their speech, in the lights and shades of their speech, in the lights and shades of their personalities, a mystery that can be lived but no spoken in words.
On the rock of moral law and not on the shifting sands of political or economic expediency can be built a civilized society with individual freedom, social justice and political equality. Truth, freedom and righteousness are essential to peace. The Evangelist tells us how 'the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and showeth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them. And saith unto him, 'All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me'. Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan; for it is written, Thou shalt worship thy Lord, Thy God and Him alone shalt thou serve'.
In the new society we need a new universal religion. By it we mean not a uniform religion but a religion of awareness and love of wisdom and compassion, prajna and karuna. of truth and love. Religion must be cured of their provincialism and made to reveal their universality. This does not mean spiritual vagueness or ambiguity.
Tolerance implies an elementary right belonging to the dignity of every man. The right to believe like the right to live a free, unfettered ----is fundamental to the concept of both----we have had in our country peaceful co-existence of different religions. It is not passive co-existence but an active fellowship, a close inter-relation of the best of different religions.
Co-existence is the first step and fraternity is the goal. We have not adhered steadfastly to these ideals and have suffered often. Yet the ideal has been kept in view and support by great leaders like Ram Mohan Roy, Ramakrishna, Tagore and Gandhiji.
The view of tolerance is based on the conviction that all transcendental use of the logical categories, all attempt to submit the transcendent to the finite are wrong. Nature and history announce God's presence but do not disclose his whole nature. Religions are cut off from one another by mutual incomprehensiveness. We are born or trained in certain traditions of religion.
Loyalty to tradition does not mean imprisonment within it. We adopt different symbolic representations of the supreme determined by our age, circumstances, upbringing and by narrower loyalties of caste, class, race or nation. Whatever progress we make at the expense of those values is morally wrong.
The seers of all religions affirm that the various peoples of the world form a community with a common purpose and a common destiny. It is said that the whole world is the fatherland of a noble soul. The application of this universality of spirit requires us to look upon our common enemies not as monsters of evil but as misled by their obsessions and as capable of change.
