Knowledge: Paper Leak Probe Exposes Tall Claims Of Rpsc’s Secrecy Plan | Jaipur News
Jaipur: Nearly 3 lakh students were affected when the Rajasthan Public Service Commission (RPSC) in December announced the abrupt cancellation of its General Knowledge (GK) paper for the senior teacher recruitment due to a leak, little did anyone expect that the mole was within the commission.
The special operations group (SOG) has arrested RPSC member Babu Lal Katara and two others for the leak. The SOG probe also laid bare the RPSC’s tall claims of preserving the secrecy of exams through a randomised process of selecting questions.
SOG chief Ashok Kumar Rathore announced on Wednesday that RPSC had entrusted Katara with the responsibility of paper setting, who in turn sold questions to another accused for Rs 60 lakh.
The SOG’s findings showed that the commission relied on a single member to set six different sets of general knowledge (GK) question papers for the high-profile exam for one of the most coveted government jobs. Katara’s involvement also runs contrary to the commission’s claims of having adopted a such classified mechanism which renders it impossible for any outsider to know who prepared questions for exams including its own members.
