AN APPEAL

We are Civil Services aspirants and we want to voice our grievances against the anomalies and widespread discrepancies in the result of Preliminary Test of Civil Services Examination-2010, conducted by U.P.S.C. (Union Public Service Commission).


Key Concerns

[1] U.P.S.C. has lowered the intake, of selected candidates this year arbitrarily. Normally, as shown by earlier records, U, P. S.C. takes the selected candidates to the advertised vacancies in P.T. Exam, in the-ratio of 15:1; but the discretionary power of U.P.S.C. is used arbitrarily in this case, and as against 965 advertised vacancies, only 12,450, candidates are selected, this year. This has lead to loss of precious years of preparation and hard work put up by the Civil Services aspirants, affecting their right to life and dignity. U.P.S.C. should revise the number of selected candidates of P.T. EXAM -2010, on this ground, and should arrange for the next step of Civil Services Examination, i.e., Mains Exam, for the revised additional candidates, too.

[2] Some irregularities like candidates not clearing the Exam in-spite of scoring higher than some of the selected candidates in the Objective Test like Preliminary Test-2010 have cropped up, and this could be because of non application of mind by U.P.S.C, in arbitrarily reducing the intake of the selected candidates. This could only be corrected by U.P.S.C. by revising the result of P.T.2010, and declaring the expected additional number of students in the revised list. Till then the Examination process of civil services exam-2010 should be stopped.

[3] The evidence of irregularities is obstructed by U.P.S.C itself, as it has stubbornly refused to show raw marks, scaled marks and cut-off list of candidates. So, in future this kind of obscurantism can be avoided and U.P.S.C. should agree to the acceptable framework of transparency in its selection procedure.

Thank You,

Yours sincerely,

Aggrieved Candidates of Civil Services Exam-2010.
