MPSC Mains result 2020: Maratha leader writes to CM, CS, seeks probe into exam result
Maratha Kranti Morcha leader Vinod Patil on Monday wrote to chief minister Uddhav Thackeray demanding a review of the Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC) main exam results, declared on June 20.
MUMBAI: Maratha Kranti Morcha leader Vinod Patil on Monday wrote to chief minister Uddhav Thackeray demanding a review of the Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC) main exam results, declared on June 20. He has also written to chief secretary Ajoy Mehta and MPSC head Satish Gavai.
Patil claims an analysis of the results of examinations conducted by MPSC in 2017 and 2019 reveals at least 30 candidates selected in 2017, who have already joined the state services, took the exam again in 2019 and were selected for the same post. "The CM and CS must step in immediately and review the results. The results of 30 candidates, who have already joined the services, should be revoked and opportunity should be given to new candidates,'' Patil told TOI.
Patil said the MPSC had advertised for 431 posts in 17 categories. This included 40 deputy collectors and 31 assistant commissioners of police. A total of 3.6 lakh students had appeared for the prelims, while 6,825 candidates were shortlisted for the final exams in July 2019. Patil found six candidates, who were selected as deputy collector in the 2017 exams, had completed their training and were in the process of taking up their new assignment. Surprisingly, these candidates took the exams again in 2019. After clearing the exams and following interviews, their names have been recommended for post of deputy collector. "It appears the MPSC did not check their service record before the final interviews. The same has happened in the case of some tehsildars too who were selected for the same post," Patil said.
When contacted, MPSC chairman Gavai said, "There is no provision in the MPSC recruitment rules to prevent an aspirant from improving his/her performance."
A senior bureaucrat, however, said it reflected badly on the MPSC administration. "It's understandable if a person working as tehsildar takes the exam again to become deputy collector, but allowing a deputy collector to appear for the exam again is wrong. The chief minister will have to step in to resolve this issue,'' he said.
