Dimapur, March 15 (EMN): Civil service aspirants in Nagaland, under the name of Public Service Aspirants of Nagaland (PSAN), have asked the Nagaland Public Service Commission (NPSC) to ‘reschedule the mains examination and provide at least 2 months to prepare for the exam.’
A press release from the PSAN on Wednesday informed that its members, ‘concerned over the manner in which exams are conducted’, had met the NPSC chairman, Yanang Konyak. A representation was submitted to the chairman:
- NPSC has arbitrarily delayed the prelims 2016 result for 5 months and the mains exam is to be held after only one month, which is in contravention to the guidelines issued by P&AR that clearly states that a minimum of 2 months’ time should be maintained between the date of Prelims result declaration and conduct of mains examination. Therefore, we demand that NPSC reschedule the mains examination and provide at least 2 months to prepare for the exam.
- That NPSC should come out with a yearly tentative date for prelims, mains and oral interview/personality test at the time of prelims advertisement and that the whole process of examination should be completed within 365 days.
According to the press release, the NPSC chairman had assured that “a board meeting would be held to discuss the demands.”
