Students
protest UPSC results

New Delhi:
A group of students Sunday staged a demonstration at the capital's
Jantar Mantar protesting the Union Public Service Commission's (UPSC)
civil service exam preliminary results.
A candlelight vigil was held by the students who alleged that the
results were not fair and blamed the commission of corruption.
"Many students with lower scores have made it to the list, while
those with higher marks have been left out," said Anurag Tripathi, a
PhD scholar from the Jawaharlal Nehru University in Delhi.
The UPSC preliminary exams results were declared last week. The UPSC
conducts a three-tier exam yearly for entry into country's higher
administrative services.
The students are demanding greater transparency in the procedure of
conducting the exam and revelation of the cut-off marks.
"I scored 84 in Geography and 56 in General Studies but my name was
not in the list, but I know students with lesser marks who have made
it to the list," said Kapil, another student from JNU.
Disclosure of marks and the cut-off has been demanded by students in
the past as well. The commission has also rejected Right To
Information applications demanding the disclosure of marks.
"We want the UPSC results to be revised. They don't reveal the
information in RTI, there is no transparency," said Ashok Kumar, who
has done his masters from Jamia Millia Islamia University.
The students also displayed placards and banners and shouted slogans
against the UPSC.
