HARYANA CIVIL SERVICES (HCS) MAINS EXAMINATION


HCS 2011 REVISED PRELIMINARY RESULT DECLARED. CLICK HERE FOR RESULT


CLICK HERE FOR 3RD DECEMBER JUDGEMENT

 NO PASSED WILL BE FAILED: The Haryana Public Service Commission ( HPSC) has decided not to nudge out candidates declared successful in the HCS preliminary examination results declared in May. When asked about the probability of some successful preliminary exam candidates unable to figure in the revised result, HPSC chairman Manbir Bhadana said all candidates declared successful in the previous result will be eligible to sit for the main written examination. When asked as to how much time the candidates would be provided to prepare for the main examination after the declaration of revised result, Bhadana said the commission would consider the issue after going through the high court orders. During the course of the hearing in the high court, the counsel for the petitioners had sought a reasonable period for the conduct of main examination after the declaration of revised result.
Puneet Bali, counsel for the commission, had verbally informed the high court during one of the earlier hearings that the commission would provide three months for conduct of main examination after declaring the revised result. However, the issue was not discussed in the court on Monday and was not part of the order.
HIGH COURT ORDERED HPSC TO FORM A COMMITTEE AND DECLARE RESULT ON PERCENTILE BASIS

The Punjab and Haryana high court on 3rd December, 2012 directed the Haryana Public Service Commission (HPSC) to constitute an experts' committee to look into the issue of wrong questions and answer key of the preliminary examination of Haryana Civil Services (executive branch) and other allied services 2011. The experts committee will consider representations of the candidates. On 3rd December a division bench comprising chief justice Arjan Kumar Sikri and justice Rakesh Kumar Jain directed the HPSC to finalise the names of the experts for each subject and submit them in a sealed cover to the court within four weeks. The high court also directed that the experts' committee, within four weeks, would look into all representations received by the HPSC from various candidates. The commission would declare the fresh results of HCS preliminary examinations on percentile basis as per the report of the experts' committee to be constituted subject wise. The decision came on a petition filed by HPSC, challenging single-judge bench's order dated August 30 before the division bench. During the resumed hearing of the case on Monday, advocate Vijay Kumar Jindal, representing the candidates, argued: "The commission should be directed to submit the names of experts in a sealed cover to the high court so that transparency can be maintained." He said answer key of every examination should be made public after the examination, as there always remained a chance of questions being wrong. As per the earlier court directions, candidates also submitted a list of subject-wise disputed questions stating that till date the commission had not been able to find out all wrong questions which were much more in number as accepted by the commission. Sunil Dhull and Dr Ashok Kumar, who had challenged the examination process, submitted in their reply to the court that in general studies paper, 80 questions out of 100 were picked up as it is from Unique Publication 2011 edition, which speaks volumes about the examination process. They submitted a list of 65 disputed questions in five subjects - general studies (21), public administration (11), history (17), geography (8) and chemistry (8). The case was disposed of by the high court on 3rd December, with directions to the commission.
Disposing of 21 petitions, single-judge bench of the high court in its judgment had postponed the main written examination scheduled for September 2 and had directed the commission to constitute an experts' committee to decide 151 representations received from various candidates. However, the commission was against the constitution of an experts' committee. The preliminary examination was conducted on March 25 for 151 posts in which 41,366 candidates had appeared. The result was declared on May 4 and since the unsuccessful candidates were not satisfied, they had moved the high court, challenging the conduct of the examination. On the basis of the May 4 result, 2,409 candidates had qualified for admission to the main written examination. The HPSC had chosen to award marks for all wrong questions instead of following a more credible and transparent method of referring the matter to experts for settling the issue.

Approximately 136 representations were received after the publishing of the answer keys, while 151 were received just after the examination. On 27 November, 2012 the HPSC had suggested that it would reduce the cut off marks in the merit list of preliminary examination of Haryana Civil Service (Executive). If accepted, candidates securing 132.06 marks in the general category in the preliminary examinations would also be allowed to appear for the main examination. Earlier the cut off marks were 134.

CASE UPDATE: next hearing on 29-11-2012


71 New Candidates in Pre. Pass list

The Punjab and Haryana high court on Tuesday directed the Haryana Public Service Commission (HPSC) to submit details of wrong questions found in preliminary examination of Haryana Civil Services (executive branch) and other allied services, 2011, within two days to the court.
The c as e will now come up for hearing on Thursday. The direction came on a petition filed by the HPSC before a division bench, comprising chief justice Arjan Kumar Sikri and justice Rakesh Kumar Jain.
The HPSC had approached the division bench, saying it was not practical for it to follow the directions issued by the single judge bench on August 30. The HPSC had later chosen to award candidates grace marks.
The high court had, on September 4, di rect ed t he HPSC to inform it about the impact on the result if the undisputed and wrong questions are deleted, and result of that subject is prepared on the strength of remaining questions on percentile basis.
The HPSC on Tuesday informed the court that after preparing the result on percentile basis and deletion of wrong questions, 212 candidates are to be excluded and 71 new candidates are to be included.
The commission submitted that of the new candidates who can appear in the main examination, 12 are petitioners. It was submitted that the cut-off marks of the last declared qualified candidate after preparation of the result was 132.06. This means that candidates, who were earlier declared qualified but were later excluded in view of the result prepared on percentile basis, and those who were not the petitioners and not within the cut-off zone are eligible to sit for the main examination.
The court was informed that after publishing the answer keys, number of answers found to be wrong by the paper setters out of disputed questions in nine subjects come to 42. Appearing for the petitioner candidates, advocate Vijay Kumar Jindal said the HPSC had sent the representations by the candidates regarding discrepancies in questions to paper setters, which is illegal.
“The representations should be scrutinised by a committee of experts,” he said. The preliminary examination was conducted on March 25 for 151 posts, in which 41,366 candidates had appeared.
The result was declared on May 4.
Since unsuccessful candidates were not satisfied with the result, they had moved the high court, challenging the conduct of examination. On the basis of the result, 2,409 candidates had qualified for admission to the main written exam scheduled from September 2. (Courtesy HT)

It means re-examination will be held for only those papers. However it seems unlikely. Since expert committee will be constituted by HPSC and decision will be taken by that committee and HPSC. So it seems students with Geography and political science papers are going to loose, and other optional papers students will be benefited. Very confused judgement indeed.

IS IT A JUSTICE? NOT AT ALL. JUDGE ORDERED RE-EXAMINATION IF QUESTIONS ARE DELETED BY EXPERT COMMITTEE. CAN JUDGE GURENTTEE THAT not a single question will be wrong in re-examination? It is certain that few questions will be wrong again, then what will happen? Decision must be challenged in double bench or in Supreme court. EVEN PASS STUDENTS SHOULD CHALLENGE IT.

In Geography 105 candidates have got entry into the list because of these five marks. In the category of scheduled castes where the cut-off
marks are 120, 19 candidates have made the cut-off marks. In the BC category, 8 candidates and in the ex-servicemen category, one candidate. In Political Science & International Relations where three questions are wrong, after deducting three marks, 31 candidates in the general category did make the grade, 11 in SC category, 5 in BC category and 3 in ESM category. Similarly, in Physics where there is one wrong question, two candidates have made it to the list of cut-off candidates in the general category. In the Electrical Engineering, none of the candidates has been
benefited.

High probability of HPSC moving to Double bench on 3rd September. If it doesn't release's answer key on Monday then it is certain that single bench decision will be challenged.It will a rational decision of HPSC.

NOTHING IS CLEAR YET. SO FAR HPSC HASN'T PUBLISHED ANSWER KEY AND DEADLINE IS ALREADY CROSSED. SO CHANCES ARE THAT HPSC HAS MOVED IN DOUBLE BENCH OR SUPREME COURT. HOWEVER IT IS CERTAIN THAT SINGLE BENCH ORDER WILL BE REVERSED IN DOUBLE BENCH, SINCE IT HAS SO MANY FLAWED.

HCS exam: HC partially stays single-judge order
Had postponed process of conducting mains on August 30

EXTENDS DEADLINE TO PUBLISH ANSWER KEYS OF THE PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION ON ITS WEBSITE SO AS TO CALL REPRESENTATIONS FROM THE CANDIDATES

CHANDIGARH: A division bench of the Punjab and Haryana high court on Tuesday partially stayed its single judge order that had on August 30 postponed the process of conducting the Haryana Civil Services (executive branch) and other allied services main examination, 2011.
Challenging the single judge order, the Haryana Public Service Commission (HPSC) had filed the letters patent appeal, which came up fo r hearing on Tuesday before the division bench headed by justice Surya Kant. However, the detailed order of the division bench is yet to come.
Taking up the petition, the division bench s t aye d the August 30 order passed by the single judge except the directions in which it was ordered that the commission would publish answer keys of the preliminary examination on its website so as to call representations from the candidates within a reasonable time.
Though the single bench had earlier directed to publish the answer keys within three days, the division bench on Tuesday extended the time up to 10 days.
The Hindustan Times had highlighted the discrepancies in the preliminary exam question papers of different subjects that had taken aback candidates and the HPSC had later chosen to award them grace marks.
HPSC had approached the division bench saying it was not practical for it to follow the directions issued by the single judge.
The single judge bench had directed the HPSC to constitute an experts’ committee to decide 151 representations received from candidates.
It had also ordered the committee to l ook i nto t he questions of the general studies paper of the preliminary examination and to submit the report to the commission, which would take necessary steps as per law.
The single judge had ordered, “However, in the case of optional subjects, the commission shall have no option but to order re-examination in the said optional paper(s) if discrepancies in question paper( s ) /a ns wer key ( s ) is/ are of such a nature where the question(s) is/are to be deleted.”
The preliminary examination was conducted on March 25 for 151 posts in which 41,366 candidates had appeared.
The result was declared on May 4 and since the unsuccessful candidates were not satisfied, they had moved the high court, challenging the conduct of examination.
On the basis of the May 4 result, 2,409 candidates had qualified for admission to the main written exam scheduled from September 2.
