JPSC ,BPSC and UPPSC is more Transparent than UPSC

The Union Public Service Commission's (UPSC) culture of secrecy is still maintained despite the fact that most of the State Public Service Commission has started sharing the information about the recruitment.

In fact, most State Public Service Commission is working to increase the transparency levels.

Interestingly, the State Public Service Commission  of states such as Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission(UPPSC), Bihar Public Service Commission(BPSC ),Madhya Pradesh Public Service Commission(MPPSC),Jharkhand Public Service Commission(JPSC )seem more progressive and transparent when it comes to revealing the information about the results.

The State Public Service Commission of  major states of the country releases the cut-off marks to aspirants who appearedsin the examination.

The Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC) and Andhra Pradesh Public Service Commission (APPSC), known for releasing the cut-off marks of not only the mains examination but also the preliminary examinations as well.

Most states do not share the marks of the preliminary exam with the candidates,but both Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission (UPPSC), Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) ,Andhra Pradesh Public Service Commission (APPSC)and Jharkhand Public Service Commission(JPSC).

Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) claims in its petition filed in High Court that the efficacy of the examination process would be impaired once the cut-off marks are revealed.

The commission  argues that the scaling system is highly confidential and that it constitutes intellectual property of the UPSC, most state Public Service Commissions that use  the scaling system are sharing  the information with the candidates.

Recently JPSC who has first time introduced the scaling system has released the scaled marks and answer key to increase the transparency however some errors has been found in the answer key but the commission has adopted transparency.

MPPSC, has publish the scaling procedure in the newspapers and even provided the unscaled and scaled marks, on the specific request of the candidates. Rajasthan Public Service Commission (RPSC) also practices the same 

With the advent of Right to Information act MPPSC started putting in place systems to make the examination process transparent and to make it possible to share several examination related information with aspirants. 

In Tamil Nadu, Public Service Commission officials are working closely with the state information commissioner's office on what information should be shared with aspirants.

The state is known to be more opaque than others to share information. But when states Public Service Commission  like UPPSC,BPSC,JPSC, MPPSC etc  can be so forthcoming with information, why not the country premier recruiter UPSC?

Most states are actively making efforts to comply with the RTI Act to make them transparent unlike UPSC that is fighting against it despite the Delhi Court and the Central Information Commission (CIC) ruling for greater transparency in the examination process of UPSC.
