BPSC 56-59th Combined PT Result in June last, Mains from last Week of September 2015




NOTE: NEXT HEARING OF BPSC CASE IS SCHEDULED ON SEPTEMBER 8. (Although hearing was scheduled on August 18, but due to excess matters this case was eliminated from August 18 cause list and latter shifted to September 8. However it is not sure, that case will be heard on September 8.)

RESULT MIGHT BE DELAYED DUE TO SUPREME COURT STAY. BPSC IS APPROACHING SUPREME COURT TO REQUEST FOR PRELIMS RESULT DECLARATION. HEARING IS SCHEDULED ON JULY 27, BUT BPSC WANTS TO MENTION IT EARLIER. 

Bihar Public Service Commission is going to declare the result of 56-59th Combined Competitive preliminary examination in the last week of Current Month (June 2015), most probably before or on 27Th May. According to sources, about 10% of appearance will be declared successful for the mains examination which is planned in the last week of September 2015.  Most probably, Mains examination will start from last week of September. Since assembly election will be held in the month of October/November, BPSC is planning to complete the mains examination process before that election. Hence, if you have not started yet, start preparation right now otherwise you will miss the chance for next 4 years.

As far as cut off is concerned, those general category students who are scoring more than 98, are in the safe zone. These students shouldn't waste time. Be ready for mains examination. Best of luck.

SUPREME COURT STAYED FILLING OF POSTS THROUGH BPSC ADVERTISEMENT 56-59


Supreme Court of India has directed Bihar Public Service Commission, not to fill the vacancies advertised through General Administration letter no. 2113 of 2014 without its permission. On the basis of above letter number, BPSC had advertised the vacancies for 56-59th Combined Competitive Examination. 53-55 Combined examination matter is still pending in Supreme Court, that is why honorable Supreme court has prevented BPSC to fill the  above posts. Some students have challenged the 53-55th mains examination evaluation process. According to the petitioners, BPSC didn't followed scaling formula which had to be followed according to Patna high Court directions.

Bihar government backtracked on 2nd BSSC Prelims




Nearly after two months, Bihar government has backtracked on its amended Bihar staff selection commission examination rule. According to new cabinet decision, State cabinet has ordered to delete the Rule 5 of Bihar Staff Selection Commission Examination Rules, 2010, under which candidates obtaining 10% highest marks in first preliminary examination were to be declared successful for 2nd preliminary examination. But now this amended rule has already been deleted on April 6, consequently, cut off is bound to go higher. Now it is clear that 2nd preliminary examination will not be held for 2nd graduate level examination. However it is yet not clear, whether commission will declare 10% candidate successful or 5 times of the number of posts for mains examination. Existing rule suggests 5 times theory. On this basis cut off will be more than 420 marks for general candidates. 

Friday, March 6, 2015

BSSC RESULT: 10% WILL QUALIFY FOR 2ND GRADUATE LEVEL PRELIMINARY-2


It is now almost final that Bihar Staff Selection Commission will hold Second Graduate level Preliminary-2 for selecting candidates for mains examination. According to the  General administration department modified rule (for Bihar Staff Selection Commission Examinations):
1.       The preliminary examination shall be conducted in more than one stages on being the number of applicants more than four lakhs. In each examination, candidates obtaining 10% highest marks shall be permitted to appear in the preliminary examination -2. The main examination shall be conducted for successful candidates of preliminary examination -2 .
It means three things:
1.       10% of February 16 and 10% of February 23 appearance (in examination) will be qualified for preliminary-2 examination.
2.       About 80,000 candidates will be called for preliminary-2 stage.
3.       5times of posts will be qualified for mains examination.
On the basis of general administration amendment (10% rule) and toughness (in fact easy nature of questions) nature of preliminary-1, it can be assumed that those (candidates) getting 410-420 numbers should be ready for preliminary-2 stage. It might be setback for good performers, but good another chance for those who are little skeptical. Anyways, it is good move.

Here is the copy of General Administration Department amendment document:

दूसरी स्नातक परीक्षा में छात्रों को एक नहीं, दो प्रारंभिक परीक्षा देने होंगे

बिहार कर्मचारी चयन आयोग बीएसएससी परीक्षा पद्धति में कुछ बदलाव कर सकती है. बीएसएससी की दूसरे स्नातक परीक्षा में छात्रों को एक नहीं, दोप्रारंभिक परीक्षा देने होंगे। दोनों पीटी में सफल छात्रों का मुख्य परीक्षा में चयन किया जाएगा। इसके लिए सामान्य प्रशासन विभाग ने नियुक्ति की प्रक्रिया में संशोधन किया गया है। इसी के आधार पर आयोग को परीक्षा लेने का निर्देश दिया गया है। नए नियम के अनुसार पहले और दूसरे चरण की स्नातक स्तरीय परीक्षा में 10 फीसदी उच्चतम अंक प्राप्त परीक्षार्थियों को दूसरी पीटी में बैठने का मौका दिया जाएगा। अर्थात प्रथम परीक्षा जो सम्पन (१६&२३ फ़रवरी) हो चुकी है, में कुल 80,000 छात्र सफल होंगे। 
ऐसा फैसला अभ्यर्थियों की संख्या लगातार बढ़ने के कारण लिया गया है। हालांकि सरकार के निर्देश पर बिहार कर्मचारी आयोग ने इस बारे में अंतिम फैसला नहीं लिया है।

BPSC 56-57 Advertisement in the last week of October 2013


AS PER SOURCES NEXT VACANCY WILL COME IN THE FIRST WEEK OF NOVEMBER 2013
Bihar Public Service Commission will soon invite applications for various gazetted posts to be filled through the 56-57th Combined Competitive Examination. According to the sources, these posts will be advertised, most probably, in the last week of October 2013. Total number of posts to be filled by this examination is around 600 which include Commercial Tax Officers, Dy.SPs, District Transport officers, District Education officers etc. Preliminary examination is likely to be held in the month of February/March 2014.
         So BPSC is now starting its process for next CC Examination, however it hasn’t came out completely from 53-55th Combined Competitive Examination mess. A number of Civil Writs (CWJC 9569/2013 and others) are still pending in the honorable Chief Justice of Patna High Court against moderation adopted by BPSC in the mains examination. In the first hearing, honorable Chief Justice Rekha M. Doshit had ordered BPSC to present raw marks and moderated marks of candidates. Next hearing will take place on October 22. Petitioners are confident of their victory in the Patna High Court itself, however in case of adverse decision they have already planned to move Supreme Court.
          In between, those who are planning to appear in the aforesaid (56-57th CCE) examination, should start one’s preparation and should carefully choose optional subjects seeing the past trend of examinations. As choosing optional subjects plays major role in final selection, rather than one’s hard labour. It is indeed hard proved and tested fact.

BPSC: STUDENTS PLANNING TO MOVE SUPREME COURT, NEED SUPPORT





CLICK HERE FOR THE ADVERTISMMENT OF POST OF ASSISTANTS IN BPSC

I WILL GIVE YOU THE LINK OF FACEBOOK GROUP WHERE YOU CAN CONTACT THE FIGHTER GROUP
Students, those who are victims of BPSC injustice, are now planning to move honorable Supreme Court for a stay on joining. Although these students got some relief from Patna high court double bench, yet they are not happy with the proceedings of high court. They have smelt some backdoor conspiracies of BPSC and the government, and it seems honorable Patna high court hasn't smelled that. That is why, despite so many evidences against BPSC 53-55th ill moderation; they got nothing from high court, except wasting of time. However, Honorable chief justice of high court has demanded raw marks and moderated marks of all students, yet she declined to pass a stay order on joining, saying that until she evaluate all data, it is not possible for her to pass a stay order. What evidence she needs, when Justice Ravi Ranjan has already declared BPSC moderation a ‘bogus’? Will she declare joining illegal, when she finds irregularities in evaluation process? Nothing could be said about that, but nothing is guaranteed in future seeing the past bad experiences of Patna High Court . What if she says that since process has completed, hence let BPSC be allowed to make a rule for moderation and scaling from next examination? In that situation, students, who are fighting for justice, will feel cheated. This issue is not limited only for this examination (53-55th), it has happened in the past, and will remain continue in coming examinations (56-57th).  If nothing changes, then BPSC will continue with its so called moderation, and student will keep suffering. In that situation, your hard labour will not pay, but your fortune. Despite writing 5 questions in a paper, you will get only 25 marks, and someone writing only 3 questions, will get 150 marks. If you want to remain with this situation, then continue with your preparation, and start praying to god for your good fortunes so that you don’t get 5 or 25 marks. And if you want to change, and want your hard labour pays, then come, join and support the BPSC fighter group which is fighting for you and whole Bihar’s laborious students who are dreaming to serve Bihar. They will move Supreme Court anytime soon. So, contact them, and support them in their, sorry, in your fight.

BPSC 53-55th: Result out, Moderation issue in Double Bench and Post Mortem report with student


Hearing news 11-09-2013: Honorable court has demanded moderate marks and raw marks (original marks given by examiner) of students from BPSC. Next hearing on 1st October.

(Hearing on BPSC Moderation case has started. First hearing took place on 10 September in double bench of Patna High Court headed by honorable Chief Justice Rekha M. Doshit. BPSC said that it has already declared the final result, but petitioners  advocates countered BPSC and said that when case was referred to larger bench, why final result was declared? Hearing will be continued for few more days.)

I had mentioned in one of my posts that moderation case was pending with larger bench, although written stay was not there yet morality says that result should not be published but BPSC morality-----. My apprehension proved right. It is irony that when UPSC has introduced ethics, morality and human value in Civil Services mains syllabus, one public service commission is joking with these issues. We shouldn't forget that two months before mains examination result declaration, BPSC hosted symposium of all public service commissions in which UPSC also participated. But I have already said that talking about BPSC morality, is nothing but wasting your time, hence I am focusing on main points.
No doubt final result is published, and some may argue that now everything is over, and frankly speaking, they are not wrong altogether. But that doesn't mean chapter is closed. Honorable Chief Justice is going to hear the moderation case (CWJC 9569/2013), most probably from 2nd September, 2013. BPSC has already published the marks of candidates (CLICK HERE FOR YOUR MAINS MARKSHEET), and students (those fighting against BPSC’s so called unjust moderation) are equipped with more proofs. These proofs might prove fatal for BPSC (I might be too optimistic), if honorable Double bench doesn’t sympathize with BPSC. Only one thing that is in favor of BPSC is that it has already completed it's process. On this basis it might plead to reject the case, and in earlier occasions, BPSC has succeeded  getting relief on this bais. But moderation case is different ball game. Honorable Justice Ravi Ranjan has himself said clearly that BPSC moderation is bogus, and he even said that BPSC should have followed scaling method. He referred it to larger bench seeing the intensity of the case. Hence it cannot be said that ‘Process Complete’ argue is going to help BPSC.  BPSC proceeded on its own, neither students nor court is responsible for that. BPSC itself is responsible for that; it has to pay the price. Why every time poor students will pay for BPSC’s fault?  From preliminary examination to interview level, it has committed blunders. Here are some of the blunders:
1.       In preliminary examination, more than 10 questions were deleted: students paid for it
2.       BPSC conducted mains examination simultaneously with JPSC mains examination: students paid for it.
3.       Moderation: In Mathematics and Chemistry some students scored more than 180 marks out of 200, and in philosophy some students scored only 5. Can you believe it? How a student of humanity can compare with mathematics and Chemistry? Which type of moderation was adopted? Patna high court had ordered (Justice Katriar) BPSC to follow moderation and scaling seeing the boom factor. But this time some other subjects outperformed some other subjects. Nothing changed: students paid the price.
4.       Some physically handicapped (General) candidates are saying that their marks are more than the written cut off, yet they were not called for interview. Even the gap between written cut off and final cut off for general physically handicapped is 205. How can one score 200 out of 150?
These are some of the examples which show BPSC’s “HUM NAHI SUDHRENGE” approach. But one should not forget that now we are leaving in virtual world and RTI world, where social media is too active and it has a capability to create a movement against wrongdoings. BPSC fighter group is one of such movements which are fighting against injustice caused to the candidates. It is duty of all interest group to come forward and fight against the injustice done by BPSC, so that next generation couldn’t face similar situation.

Bihar Public Service Commission has published the mark sheet of those candidates who appeared in mains examination. No doubt cut off is too high in mains examination. Everybody was expecting bellow 700 cut off for general category seeing the larger number of seats. But it is 725 which is unexpected. Some subjects like History, Public Administration and Hindi literature are in advantage position, however subjects like Philosophy suffered a lot due to moderation. Marks of History is surprising seeing the tough nature of questions. Well, after all it is BPSC, you can expect unexpected. Here is cut off marks:

BPSC 53-55TH EXAMINATION: HORRIBLE SITUATION




As news is coming that a writ (CWJC 15423/2011) is pending in Honorable Patna High court against preliminary examination. A case was filled in 2011 and now hearing is in its large stage. And so the examination is also in its last stage. Interview of all 2610 successful candidates is over. They are waiting for final result. However a case related to moderation is in larger bench. But in between, case related to PT came as a monster. According to sources, reservation followed in PT was wrong (as few students are claiming). They might have got some support from Allahabad High Court proceedings on very same issue. In BPSC some students might have missed mains examination (can not confirm) on that rule, due to screening nature of preliminary examination. Since reservation is a very sensitive issue, and has been guaranteed by our constitution to some unprivileged of our society. Hence it is not a matter of debate for us and it is better to avoid this issue. But the issue which has come out is that, petitioners are demanding a single mains examination for all students. Their logic is that mains examination is not a screening test, but its marks decide the final selection and overall ranking. They are giving the example of Odisha Public Service Commission. But the basic issue here is that why honorable high court waited so long for this issue? Since mains examination was held in April-May 2012, and case was filled in 2011, then why mains examination was not stayed earlier? Why BPSC didn’t take initiatives to resolve that issue before mains examination? It is empathic situation. Who is to be blamed for torturing those students who appeared in the mains examination or in interview?

It is true that even moderation adopted in mains examination is under observation of larger bench of Patna High court. But the interest of those, who have passed the mains examination, is not going to affect by adverse ruling (if any) in moderation issue, since it is unlikely that passed (in mains) will be ousted from the revised (if any) list. But as far as preliminary ruling is concerned, it will adversely affect all those who appeared in the mains examination as well as in interview. Since preliminary petitioners are demanding fresh preliminary result, fresh mains examination, on which honorable Justice Navaniti Prasad is some extent (perhaps) agree. However final verdict is yet to come on this case. If verdict comes like this, then whole procedure will start once again and litigation will continue, and BPSC might move (most likely) Supreme Court against the order. But at this juncture, nothing could be said. Matter is sub judice.  Before passing any judgment, let us wait for the verdict. We shouldn’t forget that about 20,000 students were declared qualified for the mains examination.

BPSC MODERATION: WHAT HONORABLE JUSTICE RAVI RANJAN SAID


 

Honorable Justice Dr. Ravi Ranjan order regarding BPSC moderation on 53-55th mains examination (CWJC 9569/2013, 9674/2013 and many more) is now on public domain. However, all details of hearing are not in order copy, and also honorable Justice hasn’t passed any judgment, except accepting references of Honorable apex court judgment and referring it to the honorable Chief Justice of Patna High Court. In whole order copy, one is petitioner’s views and one is BPSC counsel view. Only at one point Justice Ravi Ranjan has accepted that apex court has said that moderation is not sufficient in case where multi-subjects examination is held. Honorable Ravi Ranjan said:

From perusal of the aforesaid it would appear that the Apex Court has come to the conclusion that the procedure of moderation would only solve the problem of examiner Variability, where the examiners are many but valuation of answer-scripts in respect of a single subject is done and all the subjects are compulsory, however, moderation would be no answer where the problem would be to find out inter se merit across the subjects where examination has been conducted in different subjects. It has been held that, in order to solve the problem of inter se merit across different subjects, statistical experts have evolved a method known as scaling that is creation of a common scale. On that pretext it is being urged that, since admittedly, the Bihar Public Service Commission had adopted method of moderation for bringing uniformity which has already been held insufficient and improper in such examination by the Apex Court where different subjects are to be opted by different candidates, that has resulted in disparity in the scoring by the candidates in the different subjects.”

It also says “It is submitted that the Bihar Public Service Commission has adopted moderation and not the method of scaling in violation of the direction of the Division Bench contained in Annexure 6 which was passed on the basis of the judgment of the Apex Court in the judgment of Sanjay Singh (supra).”

One more thing, Justice Ravi Ranjan also mentioned Prashant Ramesh Chakrawar (supra) case. But let me remind you that in that case 6 steps of moderation is mentioned, and this judgment came in February 2013. But at that point of time, BPSC has already moderated answer sheets of students. Because in its affidavit BPSC clearly said that decision on moderation was taken in mid January 2013. It clears that BPSC violated the double bench order which has said until you make any rule, follow Sanjay Singh direction of Supreme Court. As said above that in Sanjay Singh case Supreme Court has favored scaling in those examinations where optional papers exist. It is also clear that (according to BPSC affidavit) so far BPSC hasn’t framed any rule regarding moderation or scaling. It means no rules were framed then Sanjay Singh (supra) order has to be followed. Even Chakrawar steps were not followed. BPSC didn’t followed any steps, because honorable Justice had said BPSC counsel during hearing that you didn’t prepare a model answer which was one of the steps of Chakrawar moderation formula.

Second and more important, BPSC has clearly stated in its affidavit that moderation was done on those students who scored more than 60% marks and less than 30% marks. This has not been mentioned in order copy. But one must not forget that after repeatedly asking, BPSC didn’t elaborate its process of moderation.  Hence this serious issue is going to be raised in the larger bench.

 One can draw many conclusions, but matter is serious and has to be dealt carefully. That is why Honorable Justice Dr. Ravi Ranjan has referred it to the larger bench, where most probably Honorable the Chief Justice of Patna High Court Rekha M. Doshit will chair the bench. Since no written stay is there, hence BPSC might declare the final result, but BPSC counsel has promised the Judge (Dr. Justice Ravi Ranjan) that no result will be published until case is  resolved, even BPSC is also saying that until case is pending no result will come.
