"Government Trying To Hush Up Anomalies," Says Fight Against Injustice of APSC Admin

STAFF REPORTER

GUWAHATI: Fight against Injustice of APSC admin Manas Pratim Baruah has said that the Government has been trying to hide the anomalies that occurred in the Combined Competitive Examinations (CCE), 2018 conducted by the Assam Public Service Commission (APSC).

Addressing the media here on Saturday, Baruah said, "The anomalies that took place in the CCE in 2018 don't support the examination to be termed competitive. Because of the anomalies, 98 candidates who couldn't qualify the preliminary exam got the chance to take the CCE mains, and eight of them got call for the viva voce. Of the whole lot of candidates who moved the court, only three got calls for the viva voce. And six of these 11 (8+3) make it to the final list.

"On March 13, 2019 the results of the prelim exam were declared allowing 3,361 candidates to take the CCE mains. On April 30, 2019 the APSC rectified its 94 wrong answer keys and allowed 406 candidates for the CCE mains exam. Apart from the 94 wrong answer keys, there were 35 other faulty answer keys. The break-up of the 35 wrong answer keys is – 9 in general studies, 12 in history, 6 in political science, one in Education, 2 in Mathematics and 5 in Philosophy. This is unprecedented. That led to the filing of 21 writ petitions in the Gauhati High Court. At last, the APSC held six posts and declared the results for the rest of the posts.

"I appeal to the Chief Minister not to turn such anomalies into a scam by issuing appointment letters to such candidates as a number of writs are still to be disposed by the High Court. If some of the candidates were allowed to seat for the main exam just for their writs field in the Court, won't it deny a large number of poor candidates who couldn't move the court their rights?"
