Kanwar Inder Singh/ royalpatiala.in News/ June 18,2023
Today, Punjab Public Service Commission (PPSC) is going to conduct the re-examination of Naib Tehsildar’s 78 posts at 141 centres from 12:00 noon to 2:00 pm. The examination will be conducted bilingually i.e. both in English and Punjabi language.
As per available information, this time the commission is taking no chance for any leakage, cheating, unfair means in conducting the re-examination of Naib Tehsildar posts. The commission has deputed Special Executive Magistrates (SEMs) at each centre for observatuon and fair conduct of exam. The commission has instructed the special executive magistrate to reach at the allotted exam centre by 10:00 am for observation and instructed them to remain at the centre till the end of the exam i.e by 2:00 pm
This time the commission has also changed the examination centres. No centre has been made in Patran, Moonak areas as last time the paper was leaked , cheating was done from these areas. Out of 141 centres around 37 centres are in local Patiala, Nabha, Rajpura in Patiala district .
During last exam of Naib Tehsildar, the police had nabbed a number of accused in the previous competitive exam and had disclosed the modus operandi used by them in that exam which includes the usage of bluetooth and GSM devices for cheating. Patiala police had confirmed cheating in the paper after which the government decided to scrap the merit list of shortlisted candidates and conduct the exam afresh.
As per sources, Punjab Public Service Commission, Patiala is using the Biometric authentication system in the Naib Tehsildar exam to make the examination process robust. Also the commission is going to record the Naib Tehsildar exam and is going to depute around 450 videographers with video camera to record the exam. Theses videographers will do the videography at Patiala, Ludhiana, Mohali, Chandigarh, Fatehgarh Sahib centres made for this examination. Jamers will also be installed at each centre.
PPSC keeping its fingers crossed; first time deputes SEMs at each centre for fair conduct of Naib Tehsildar exams. Meanwhile PPSC chairperson Dr Jamit Kaur Jeji and secretary examination Karamjit Singh could not be contacted despite repeated attempts.
Will PPSC be able to conduct Naib Tehsildar re-exam fairly this time?
