ITANAGAR, Nov 8: A group of state civil service aspirants has appealed to the state government to review existing Recruitment Rules (RR) of the Arunachal Pradesh Public Service Combine  Competitive Examination (APPSCCE).
Addressing media persons at the press club here on Monday, one of the aspirants, Tadak Nalo said "The future of the state as well as those aspirants appearing for the state civil services will be terrible, if the present RR is not reviewed precisely and changed."
He said the ratio of 80:20 criteria in the recruitment process, which was introduced in the year 1990, has not been amended adequately. Thus it remains obsolete and going through the present circumstances, it demands review and reforms in the criteria.     
“The 20% unreserved should be removed thereby making it 100% APST reservation like other neighboring states of Manipur, Meghalaya and Nagaland. PRC should be made mandatory and a mechanism should be brought to scrutinize the participation of Non-APST in the examination,” he said, adding that a crystal clear definition of Non-APST must be introduced.
He also said the gazette post of Grade-A and B should be exclusively for the APST candidates.
“Many of our people are not aware of the future consequences. If, today we don’t review the RR and accordingly change it, the future of our state is alarming and will have great negative impact,” he added.    
The group also said that the state is totally a ST state, therefore 20% of unreserved seats has no value.
Another aspirant, Tony Patey, said that there is also need for review and reform in the unreasonably high Physical Standard Test (PST) and Physical Efficiency Test (PET) recruitment for Arunachal Pradesh Police Service (APPS-DySP), especially for women.
The present ratio of male and females are 104:03, respectively. The commission as well the state government should look into the matter and decrease the requirement of height qualification. 
“The minimum height of 158 cm for an APST to appear in PST and PET is the reason why we lack lady officers in the state. Therefore, to at least make the ratio even, there should be a considerable lowering of height requirement,” he said.  
The group has also submitted a representation to the Chief Minister for his kind consideration for the recommendation to review and reform in the RR.
