KPSC comes up with reforms to ensure transparency in future exams
Key reforms to be implemented include changing format of OMR sheets, uploading answer sheets to the website for public access and so on
The Karnataka State Public Service Commission (KPSC) has announced a series of reforms aimed at ensuring transparency in future examinations and recruitment processes. Key changes include discontinuing the document verification stage, uploading Optical Mark Recognition (OMR) sheets to the website for public access, and disclosing candidates' marks alongside their registration numbers and categories.
The KPSC plans to complete the Gazetted Probationary (KAS) examination and recruitment process within 11 months. These reforms are expected to save 3 to 4 months typically spent on document verification. Additionally, the commission has decided to include a fifth option on OMR sheets, mandating candidates to shade it if they are unsure of an answer, to prevent tampering.
The measures are intended to address allegations of irregularities in the recruitment processes and examinations conducted by the KPSC.
