In a move uncommonly bold but most welcome, Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma took direct charge of the preventive measures against RPSC exam paper leaks aimed at restoring integrity to the RPSC examinations. This decision is essentially in keeping with a number of instances where the question papers of various competitive examinations were compromised, thus severely affecting the fairness and credibility of the selection process.
Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma has announced that stringent measures are being instituted to secure the integrity of the upcoming Rajasthan State and Subordinate Services Combined Competitive Preliminary Examination scheduled for February 2, held under the aegis of RPSC (Rajasthan Public Service Commission). The Chief Minister stated that during an elaborate review meeting at his residence, the government had committed itself to the transparent and meticulous scrutiny of competitive examination proceedings.
Chief Minister Directive on RPSC Exam Paper Leak Security
Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma has taken every precaution in conducting the integrity of the Rajasthan State and Subordinate Services Combined Competitive Preliminary Examination, which is to be held on February 2 under the Rajasthan Public Service Commission (RPSC). A detailed review of the examination has been undertaken with the Chief Minister, and the Chief Minister has specifically stated that the state government is committed to conducting all examinations in a most transparent and vigilant manner.
Focus on Preventing Unfair Means
The occasion suited Sharma to widen the ambit of caution; he insisted further upon care during the collection and distribution of question papers for the RPSC examination. In this regard, he instructed the district administration, police, and RPSC to closely coordinate to achieve better supervision and monitoring of the examination. Important were the confidentiality and security of the question papers. Preventing use of unfair means would require Sharma instructing the officials to have effective management measures put in place for maintaining the integrity of the examination.
Special Arrangements for Security at Examination Centers
Teachers can’t make a comment. So there is no one that one can bite the finger or rather poke. The final word rest with the teacher talking-kid only in his own or her handwriting. Given that in normal teaching technique the class is silent or hardly said anything by students, the outside country teachers get really bored by it too bad that the teachers do not have comments on it. The final word rests with the teacher talking-kid only in his own or her handwriting. Reports talk about a rise in cases. School attendance during the past quarter year was up four hundred percent on last year’s quota.
The Chief Minister also ordered vigilance on aspirants who might have indulged in or were banned owing to suspected activities. He requested thorough inspections at the examination centers, requesting the local police stations to remain extra vigilant. RPSC Secretary, Ramnivas Mehta apprised the meeting that innovations like taking thumb impressions on application forms and attendance sheets are to be implemented in order to curb the entry of proxy contestants into the exam.
Ensuring Smooth Transportation for Examinees
To ensure the examinees can travel with ease, Sharma directed the Transport Department to maintain a large number of vehicles. He emphasized that the government is granting free travel just two days before and after the examination. Also, the release of the bus schedule for the candidates’ smooth commuting was issued to the Transport Department.
In his directives, the Chief Minister acknowledged that the administration is fully committed to the fair and transparent conduct of these examinations. By instituting these measures, the administration wants to create an environment conducive to meritocracy and distant from the afflictions of malpractices that have marred this region with respect to such competitive examinations.
The critical concern for inter-agency coordination, intense security protocols, and logistical arrangements for candidates is a well-rounded scheme to protect the sanctity of these all-important exams. This, in turn, is not only meant to prevent leaks and malpractice but also to ensure that every individual gets an equal platform and fair opportunity to showcase his capabilities. Initiatives taken under the Sharma’s leadership practically point to the seriousness of the government towards improving recruitment credibility in the state’s public services.
