BCS Question Papers

PSC blames BG Press for errors

Staff Correspondent
Public Service Commission (PSC) yesterday put the blame on Bangladesh Government (BG) Press for the errors and inconsistencies in a set of question paper of the preliminary test for the 30th Bangladesh Civil Service (BCS).
PSC Chairman Saadat Husain said BG press has made the mistakes.
The commission held a meeting at its office in the city yesterday with the PSC chairman in the chair to discuss the matter.
But the meeting could not come to a decision as the authorities found the matter quite complex, sources said.
However, the commission will soon talk to experts to resolve the issue in a way that will protect the interest of the examinees, he said.
Such “minor mistakes” had been made in the previous years too but the commission handled the situations well, he added.
Errors appeared in English section of set-2 of the BCS question paper and that caused confusion among the examinees.

"The BG press has made the mistakes while shuffling the sets,” Saadat told The Daily Star yesterday evening.
The moderators prepare a number of question papers and give it to the BG Press for printing, he said adding that the press then makes three sets for each question paper as perthemoderators' direction.
Asked whether the moderators check the sets before exam, he said rechecking is not necessary since the sets are done as per the moderators' direction.
Saadat said, "We will get a solution which will be scientifically correct”.
The commission will make sure that none have any problem with the decision, he said.
PSC sent an advertisement to different newspapers yesterday saying that for such examinations, a number of question papers are made and those usually have several sets.
Well-established teachers or national level subject-wise experts carry out the duties of examiners and moderators, the advertisement said adding that the commission select a question paper through lottery 25 minutes before the examination.
Many candidates called the office of The Daily Star yesterday expressing their concern over the issue.
Some of them fear that the PSC would take any decision that might go against the examinees.
A group of candidates held a press conference at Dhaka University yesterday demanding the cancellation of the preliminary test.
On Friday, the test was held at 110 centres in six divisional headquarters with about 147,988 applicants vying for 2,572posts.
