Candidates miss out on Bengal teacher
recruitment exam

Kolkata: Many
would-be teachers could not appear for a recruitment examination
conducted by the West Bengal School Service Commission due to
organisational mismanagement and technical glitches Sunday. The
commission chairman smelled "conspiracy" behind the anomalies.
The question papers allegedly either reached well beyond the
stipulated time or were short of the required numbers at many of
the centres. There were also complaints that there was lack of
Optical Mark Recognition sheets (answer scripts) triggering
widespread chaos and agitations by examinees.
In South 24 Parganas district's Diamond Harbour, much to the
dismay of 300 examinees, the centre that was allotted on their
admit cards was not aware about the event and the exam was
conducted only after the examinees gheraoed the sub-divisional
officer.
Such glitches were reported from several examination centres
spread across the districts of Howrah, Hooghly, South 24 Parganas
and Malda.
"We have received reports of technical glitches and examinees
refusing to appear for the examinations. Only at few centres the
question paper did not reach on time. There has been a concerted
effort to create a ruckus and deny employment to 55,000 people,"
Commission chairman Chittaranjan Mandal told media persons.
Meanwhile, state Higher Education Minister Bratya Basu has ordered
a probe into the matter and said re-examination will be conducted
in some centres.
"I have talked to the chief minister (Mamata Banerjee) and as per
her order, we will conduct an inquiry into the alleged glitches.
At centres where the examinees could not appear due to valid
reasons, we will conduct re-examinations, the date of which will
be announced later," said Basu.
The opposition Left Front did not let go the opportunity to
criticise the government for slack conduct of the examination.
"Unlike examinations during our regime, this time it was conducted
flouting rules and regulations which have not happened earlier.
This is highly deplorable and we condemn it," Front chairman Biman
Bose said.
