The agony of thousands of examinees may come to an end next week. The expert committee set up for looking into anomalies in the model answers given by the Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC) earlier, has presented its findings.
According to insiders, the committee has found the objections to be correct and the JPSC is likely to include fresh names in its list of candidates who cleared the preliminary examination.
“We have received all reports by the subject experts appointed to evaluate the model answers given on the website on Friday. Almost all have found some kind of anomaly in the answers given earlier. Doubts existed in almost all the subjects. We are most likely to come up with a fresh set of results by the next week after proper evaluation of the findings,” said a senior JPSC official.
About 24 subject experts were roped in by the commission to evaluate the objections raised by some candidates after the official answers were displayed. The examinees claimed that some model answers were not correct, thus affecting the final tally of marks scored and eventually the outcome of the prestigious exam.
The matter also reached high court, where it is being heard along with other objections related to scaling method. The high court has fixed November 9 as the next date of hearing.
“Subjects such as history, geography and some others have as many as six to seven wrong answers. It will certainly affect the final tally and it is most likely that the fresh result will comprise new set of candidates. Our chairman (Shiv Basant) is looking forward for shorting out the matter speedily,” added the official.
Sources also conveyed to The Pioneer that the high court was not very satisfied with the reply submitted by the JPSC over the array of objections - citing repetition of candidates in the passed list, artificially raising scores based on scaling method and dubbing male as female.
