Merger of 2020 and 2021 CSE with more vacancies and exams in the month of April or May + Extra attempt to those applied in 2020 = win win situation for all. 

2019 people going to interview also suffered (many of my friends)

My draft of petition. Suggest the changes.... 


edit1:- Please suggest changes (if any)

Lateron, we can use the finalised version in our mails/tweets/petition/ ......

 I am not a politician, I don't need any political mileage/credit  out of this. All I need is 'the purported change'. Lets spread the message far and wide. Copy-Paste- Tweet- Retweet -- Petition- Pray 

Moderates might have lost then, but we can (?) win now by ushering the power of social media.

// Jai Gopal Krishn Gokhale... Jai Feroz Shah Mehta//  

(meanwhile, lets not forget to revise our syllabus)


****************************************************************************************

We, the aspirants, hereby request the Government of India to pay attention to our concerns on UPSC-2020 scheduled to be held on October-2020:

1) The number of cases of Covid-19 is not plateauing . Even the vaccine is not available as of date. In these times of uncertainity where the pandamic is inching towards two million and started spreading beyond cities, we feel unsafe to take up any assignment that requires movement beyond our native place.

2) Though the Hon,High Court of Karnataka showed sympathy to the concerns of students, it allowed to conducting the KCET exams. The way those exams are conducted revealed the terrible state of affairs. The standard practices which looked good on paper didnot translate well into practice.

3) The officials can sanitize exam centre n-number of times, but the candidates (and accompanying guardian) have to traverse through the secondary infrastructure (local transport, hotels for stay, buses/trains for primary transport). On an average 6 lakh candidates take up the exam and are accompanied by a guardian who is most probably a parent in the immuno-compromised age group of 50-60 years.

4) Since most of the students live outside the "City of exam centre", the time of interaction is not just the 2 hours of exam time, but atleast a day and half journey (including both transits). Had there been no exam, this time will be spent by the aspirant and his parents in a relatively risk-normalised native place. Hence, conducting examination particularly at a time of Pandemic Peak which unfortunately coincide with the moonsoon outset is unviable. Moreover, routine health disorders like asthma and minor respiratory irritations get exacerbated in the monsoon period. All these make the already grim situation more dangerous.

4) Unlike other entrance examinations, The UPSC exam process is a three-stage performance capture structure. After giving prelims, the candidate has to get ready for Mains within 90 days. Suppose if a candidate gets affected by Corona virus due to his prelims journey, he loses a fortnight of preparation time and it affects his chances of clearing Mains exam. On the top of this, he also loses the count of one attempt. This is sheer inequity.

5) Several aspirants are already working as frontline Covid warriors and still combating with the pandemic. Conducting the exam on October-2020 will be highly discriminatory because they cannot focus on both the exam preparation and the discharge of duty. Also, some part-time working aspirants are already struggling to meet the end meet. The inequalities of society are deepened by the Corona crisis. It will not be 'Just' to conduct exam at this juncture.

6)The basic objective behind a open competition based recruitment exam is to ensure parity and remove arbitrariness. But, in the given unprecedented situation, conducting the Prelims exam on the 'tentative' date of 4- October 2020 goes against every principle of Equity and Parity.

Hence we request the authorities to merge the UPSC2020 cycle along with 2021 cycle along with the proportional increased posts and providing a compensatory attempt to those whose last attempt ends by 2020. Meanwhile, as estimated by various research agencies, the extremity of pandemic gets subsided and the vaccine is available for mass consumption.

 

We wish the authorities heed to our petition and ensure parity in the selection process.

Who had their last attempt in 2019 suffered a lot in interview ! They shld also get one
