UPPSC News: Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission is going to implement biometric identification and biometric attendance system to make its examinations more transparent. Along with this, a control room is going to be set up for direct monitoring of examination centers through CCTV. For this, the commission has sought applications from experienced agencies till July 28. For this the agencies will have to upload their details on the website of the Commission. On the basis of experience and work, the commission will select any one agency.
Solver will not be able to sit in the exam now
On behalf of the Commission, the system of biometric identification and biometric attendance will be implemented in all written examinations including PCS, Review Officer (RO) / Assistant Review Officer (ARO), Additional Private Secretary (APS), LT grade teacher recruitment, spokesperson recruitment. During the examination, biometric identification of the candidates will be done at all the centers and it will be matched with the photo of the candidate in the application available with the Commission. If a solver is sitting in place of a candidate, he will be caught immediately under biometric identification. Along with this, a close watch will be kept on the examination centers through live CCTV surveillance.
Commission officers will keep a direct eye
Centers are made in different districts of the state for other important examinations including PCS, RO / RO. The staff in the Commission is limited and it is not possible for the Commission personnel to reach every examination center. CCTV cameras installed in the examination centers will be connected to a control room and during the examination, the officers of the commission will be able to directly monitor the centers from the control room.
Transparency will increase in examinations – Media in-charge of the Commission
Along with this, the candidates entering the commission premises will have to go through hand held metal detector test. Hundreds of candidates reach the commission daily during the interview, but there is no system for their search or investigation. Commission’s media in-charge Vinod Kumar Gaur says that with the implementation of these new arrangements, transparency will increase in the recruitment examinations. Applications have been invited from experienced agencies working in this field. This process will be taken forward through the agency.
Commission changed the dates of PCS 2023 main exam
On the other hand, Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission has changed the dates of PCS 2023 main exam. Now this exam will be held from 26 September. The main examination of UP PCS was clashing with the dates of main examination of Union Public Service Commission. Many promising candidates from the state are appearing in both the examinations. Due to being on the same dates, there was compulsion with the candidates to skip any one examination. In this regard, many candidates had demanded change in their dates from the Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission.
This has been happening before as well. It was expected that the change in the date of UP PCS exam would be announced soon. In the notice issued by the commission on Thursday, it was made clear that the examinations will now start from 26 September instead of 23 as the UPSC examinations will end on 24 September. The candidates have heaved a sigh of relief with this decision of the commission. Currently the registration process for PCS Mains 2023 is going on. Candidates can register by visiting the official website uppsc.up.nic.in.
New lekhpal recruitment will come soon
The Uttar Pradesh Subordinate Service Selection Commission may soon issue an advertisement for the new recruitment of Lekhpal. The Revenue Council is preparing to prepare a proposal in this regard and send it to the commission. This recruitment will be on about 4500 posts. There are about 31 thousand posts of Lekhpal in the state, out of which more than 13 thousand are vacant. The old recruitment on eight thousand posts is expected to be completed by October-November this year.
After this, the commission will try to complete the process of new Lekhpal recruitment. The delay in the process of old recruitment has been a major reason behind the delay in new recruitment till now, while there was delay in sending the details of vacant posts to the Revenue Council from many mandals.
