BPSC Drama Continues

By Anil Kumar

Sept. 30, 2008

After the advent of NDA government many thought the kind of large scale corruption in BPSC examinations will end. But it seems there is no end to it. Right two days before prelims exam question paper was out and being sold in market. The government panics and sets up new question paper and somehow their printer is faulty and many questions are missing from question-papers at several locations.

The right thing to do would have been to reconvene the exam but the government goes ahead with results and as it seems by results they have decided to choose only the common questions from question-papers for the eventual result. Question begs what about those candidates who did well in those dropped questions. Since the missing questions were mostly from mathematics so all those who were good at math and slightly weak at history have suffered. My brother happens to be one of these candidates. In final analysis he had calculated 100 questions right and that included 10 questions of math. Suddenly he finds his total score is just 88. One of his friends from the OBC category although has the requisite 94 marks and even the official result shows 94 marks, yet his roll number doesn't figure in the list of successful candidates despite the cut-off for OBC being 92.

I am hard placed to buy how on earth no other state public commission exam suffers from this leaking question paper saga right before the exam in this day and age. Still we manage to do exactly that year after year. When will this gross corruption end. Moreover, should not they have three four different set of questions to hoodwink these corrupt elements so that the state doesn't go into huddle in case one of those set of questions get leaked.

Nitish Kumar jee have been doing well on every front and it's high time he fixes this serious glitch in the system.

 

Comments:
My brother has been writing the BPSC too and the stories I hear from him about BPSC exams are just unbelievable. If careers of the students who burn midnight oil over the years were not at stake, it would have been funny. But seeing my brother suffer because of this widespread and systematic callousness makes me sad about Bihar. These officers are supposed to be the torch-bearers of Bihar in years to come and would be responsible for giving an effective administration to the people of Bihar. Given the kind of people getting through BPSC exams because of unfair means, nepotism and downright corruption does not bode well for the future of our beloved state.

However, I do not blame the Nitish administration for this. You get a government as good as the people. In my experience, I have seen people indulge in corruption when it is convenient for them and then come back to blame others for it. I have seen people keeping their houses clean but throwing all the trash in neighbours yard without blinking an eye. I blame this culture of putting personal good over public good and downright lack of respect for law. I have seen umpteen times that someone would yell, "aapko pata nahin hum kaun hain? Hum mantri aur SP/DSP saheb ke aadmi hain."

What can you expect from this kind of culture? I hope I am proven wrong in my lifetime. By the way, I am only 28 in case you wonder. - Ravindra Kumar, Boston, USA - Oct. 4, 2008

Why incompetent people have been appointed as the member of the BPSC and why the Chief Minister is not taking proper actions against them? Candidates who were rejected previously have been selected but competent candidates like me have been rejected. Why? Who will take the responsibility of this corrupt Commission? - Rajesh Mishra, Delhi - Oct. 4, 2008
