News India Live, Digital Desk: UPSC CSE Prelims Exam 2024: A big controversy has arisen about the Answer Ki of the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) Civil Services Preliminary Examination (CSE Prelims) 2024, in which the Supreme Court has now intervened. The Supreme Court has given an important verdict in this case, reprimanding UPSC. In fact, some candidates who took the exam had alleged that the UPSC does not release the answer of the preliminary examination at time, due to which there is a lack of transparency and they have trouble in evaluating their performance properly.
What did the Supreme Court say?
The Supreme Court has asked the UPSC to publish the ‘Answer Key’ results of the preliminary examination before or immediately after releasing the results. The court has directed the Commission to file replies on those petitions in four weeks, demanding that the UPSC should release the answer key before the preliminary examination results before declaring the results. The court said that if the answer key is not issued before declaring the final result, then the scope of improvement in it ends.
What is the whole matter?
The UPSC CSE exam is one of the most prestigious exams in the country, in which millions of candidates participate. After the preliminary examination, the Commission usually publishes the answer key only after the final result is released. Candidates argue that this does not give them a chance to assess their performance and challenge them if there is any mistake. He alleged that this is a “arbitrary” process of the Commission.
What will happen in future?
With this directive of the Supreme Court, now UPSC may have to change its current process. If the Commission had to publish answer-key before or immediately after the final result is released, it would be a big win for the candidates. This will not only bring more transparency in the examination process, but the candidates will also get a chance to know whether their answers were correct or wrong, and they will be able to register objections if necessary.
This decision can bring a significant change in the functioning of UPSC and prove to be in the interest of millions of candidates.
