CM Yogi’s initiative in the interest of students
For the last few days, there was a situation of dissatisfaction among the students regarding PCS and other selection examinations. The students demanded that the PCS preliminary examination should be conducted in a single day instead of conducting it in multiple shifts. Taking cognizance of these demands of the students, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath directed the Commission to take necessary decisions by establishing dialogue with the students. The Commission communicated with the students on the instructions of the Chief Minister and considering their demands, it was decided that the PCS Preliminary Examination 2024 will be conducted on a single day as before.
Formation of committee for RO/ARO exam
On the initiative of the Chief Minister, UPPSC has postponed the Review Officer (RO) and Assistant Review Officer (ARO) Examination-2023 and has constituted a committee to ensure its transparency and fairness. This committee will study all aspects in depth and submit its detailed report soon, so that the purity and credibility of these examinations can be ensured.
Special focus on transparency of selection examinations
The Secretary of the Commission said that in view of the incidents of paper leak in many parts of the country in recent months, the Uttar Pradesh government has decided to ensure the purity and transparency of the selection examinations. For this reason, the Commission had announced to conduct the proposed PCS and RO/ARO examinations in multiple shifts in December. However, after the demand of the students and the intervention of the Chief Minister, now the PCS preliminary examination will be conducted on the same day.
Students will get benefit
This decision will provide great relief to lakhs of students who are preparing for this exam.
