The protest by aspirants against the UPPSC’s decision to conduct the RO-ARO and PCS preliminary examinations on different dates entered its second day on Tuesday.
The protesters laid siege to the Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission (UPPSC) headquarters here on Monday, staging a sit-in even as a large posse of police personnel tried to disperse them.
The students were seen holding placards with slogans like, “We will not retreat, we will remain united until we get justice”, and “One day, one exam”.
In a statement issued on Monday, the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) said that in light of the concerns raised by the aspirants over the conduct of the PCS and RO-ARO preliminary exams, the commission should take prompt steps to address the issues related to exam centres, normalisation of scores, and conduct of exams in two shifts to ensure the integrity of the process.
“The candidates have been raising concerns over the guidelines set by the commission for the upcoming PCS and RO-ARO exams, leading to protests at different levels. The ABVP demands the UPPSC to promptly resolve these concerns. The integrity and transparency of the exams must not be compromised, and all the issues regarding centre allocation and normalisation must be addressed with utmost seriousness,” ABVP national secretary Ankit Shukla said in the statement.
59% support taking action on the simultaneous conduct of the UPPCS and RO/ARO exams.
