Highlights
A total of 45,000 candidates had sat for the preliminary examination but only 1,190 could clear it to appear for the main exam
Only 61 candidates could manage to reach till the interview stage of the Haryana Public Service Commission (HPSC) recruitment exam for posts in the Haryana Civil Services (Executive Branch) this year, leaving aspirants in shock and disbelief.
Out of the 90,000 candidates who had applied for 100 posts in the Haryana Civil Services (Executive Branch) and other allied services, only 45,000 sat for the preliminary examination held on 21 May this year. However, out of these 45,000 candidates, only 1,190 made it to the main exam held from 12-13 August.
And, out of these 1,190, only 61 candidates have managed to clear the main exam, the results of which were declared last Monday, to reach the interview round that will start on 9 October.Related Stories
However, there is a catch here too. The HPSC website clearly mentions that the final results are subject to the outcome of a case pertaining to cancellation of the examination pending before the Punjab & Haryana High Court.
People are raising questions about the dismal performance of candidates in the examination. Some point fingers at the selection process while others at the framing of question papers.
Amidst all these controversies, HPSC has, however, maintained that the results had been declared strictly according to the rules which require candidates to get at least 33 per cent marks in Hindi and English subjects and 45 per cent marks in the aggregate, and most candidates failed to obtain the qualifying marks.
Needless to say, the results have left both candidates and their parents shocked.
