Combined Technical Association of Nagaland (CTAN) and Naga Students\u2019 Federation (NSF) have urged the Nagaland Public Service Commission (NPSC) to reconduct Combined Technical Services examination civil engineering (diploma) 2023.
CTAN through its media cell stated in the CTSE civil engineering diploma paper 1 and paper 2 recently conducted on June 7, 2023, it was found that 84 questions from paper 1 and 73 questions from paper 2 had been \u201crepeated\/copied\u201d from civil engineering (degree) question papers, which was conducted on June 6, 2023.
CTAN has, therefore, appealed to the responsible authority to intervene and reconduct examination at the earliest. CTAN also demanded normalisation of marks\/re-examination of civil engineering (degree) 2023 papers where 22 questions in paper 1 and 54 in paper 2 were a copy from CESE 2022.
Further, CTAN urged NPSC to be more responsible \u201cas the trend of copy pasting from the previous year question paper\/single objective books is nothing new and this is not only observed in engineering branches but in all branches under NPSE-CTSE.\u201d CTAN urged the commission to exercise the authorities bestowed upon it and bring the best solution for the raised matters at the earliest.
Speaking to Nagaland Post, CTAN convenor, Meshenlo Kath, said that even after demanding the appointment of \u2018Subject specialists\/expert\u2019 to set the questions for the state exam, there had been no positive response. CTAN has requested the commission to take necessary actions within seven days or before the answer keys was declared.
NSF: Naga Students Federation (NSF) through its vice president Atokiho Sumi and secretary education Medovi Rhi said the federation received complaint that the automobile diploma students were deprived of equal opportunity and fairness in the examination.
NSF said the questions were allegedly asked from other branches of engineering, which were out of the syllabus prescribed by the commission. NSF said it was informed that question 1-30 were asked from the survey diploma course, which had no connection with automobile course.
Also, it said that three questions (87, 89 and 113) were repeated in question No 97, 95 and 117 respectively.
NSF said that such a grave over sight by NPSC, which is responsible for recruiting the top bureaucrats and technocrats in the state, cannot be tolerated.
NSF has, therefore, demanded NPSC for re-conduct of the said examination. \u201cThis will ensure that a level playing field is created for all the candidates desiring to serve the State government in the capacity Motor Vehicle Inspector,\u201d NSF stated.
The federation also urged the commission to exercise utmost caution while setting the question papers and ensure that no further blunder was committed again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
