Students blamed the UPSC for corruption

A group of students on 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.

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.

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.
