Indore : In a landmark decision that is aimed at bringing further transparency to its examination process, the Madhya Pradesh Public Service Commission (MPPSC) has decided to provide the answer sheets of its examinations to candidates for reviewing their performances.
What’s more, the candidates can view their answer sheets online in the comfort of their homes.
To avail a copy of the answer book, all a candidate needs to do is to log on to MPPSC website and pay a charge of Rs 50 to view the answer sheets.
“The students can even download the answer sheets from the website,” said MPPSC secretary Manohar Dubey.
This facility would be launched from state civil service preliminary examination-2015 which will be on January 24, 2016.
“The candidates of exam-2015 will be allowed to review their answer sheets after publication of the results if they are not satisfied with the marks they secured,” Dubey said.
“The MPPSC has made this arrangement to bring more transparency in its examination system,” Dubey said.
Till date, the candidates need to use the Right to Information Act to obtain a copy of the answer book.
One Time Password
On the lines of the online bill payment system, MPPSC has made answer sheet review process online with providing a One Time Password (OTP) to students to see their answer scripts. Once they pay the charges for the facility, the candidates will get a code with which they could view their answer books and download the same. Dubey said that they could have provided the facility free of charge but then it would be misused so a nominal charge of Rs 50 has been imposed.
