ITANAGAR, Sep 2: A group of aspirants  of the  recently concluded   Arunachal Pradesh Public Service Combined Competitive Examination (APPSCCE)  on July 29, has alleged that there are many anomalies in the question papers  and  have filed a petition in the Guwahati High Court, Itanagar Bench.

One Otem Padung who is a guide to the aggrieved aspirants and a professor(HoD) in Rajiv Gandhi University (RGU) while addressing media persons here today said that they have all the authentic proof especially with regards to commerce and other social science subjects where huge anomalies were found.

Speaking on behalf of the aggrieved aspirants of the recently conducted Arunachal Pradesh Public Service Combined Competitive Examination (APPSCCE), he said that if the commission is  declaring the results in two rounds,  the integrity of the commission will  naturally be questioned and doubted.

Padung also informed that the aggrieved students have filed a writ petition in August in the Naharlagun High Court regarding the anomalies and the next hearing will be on September 5.

In the meantime, Padung also requested the state government to accept the introduction of CSAT pattern to bring one syllabus and one examination. He also added that the present syllabus is outdated as the same should be upgraded time to time if possible. 

Kulenso Pul, a Commerce aspirant said that the exam was conducted on July 29 and on the next day they approached the commission secretary complaining that  about 64 questions were out of syllabus, to which the secretary assured to make an expert committee.

The secretary assured to provide compensatory marks for the out of syllabus questions but on August 2  the result was declared where out of 1030 Commerce candidates only 3 qualified for the Mains.

Aspirant Biken Nyicyor who took Philosophy said that people have high expectation from the commission and termed the “Human Error” explanation, a cheap reply.

“There should be fresh re-examination in which freshers should also be allowed to enroll for the same. The recruitment rule of the commission is being breached which should be taken into consideration and checked,” he stressed.

In a nutshell, the aggrieved aspirants demanded the introduction of CSAT pattern, outsourcing paper from UPSC, immediate re conduct of examinations, disclosure of answer key, a copy of OMR sheets, and explanation of technical errors/human errors and increase in upper age limit for the examinations.
