Mumbai: Maharashtra
Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan Wednesday said that the
Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC) exams would be held
April 7 as scheduled across the state.
He shot down demands for postponing the exams after the MPSC's
main server crashed following a virus attack and wiped out data of
all 300,000-plus candidates, barely four days before the exams.
"All candidates would be intimated their exam centre details via
SMS. They can produce their exam fee receipt with a photograph to
write the exams. There will be no compulsion on the hall ticket,"
Chavan told the state assembly.
Earlier in the day, the MPSC came under fire from political
parties for "careless" due to which it lost valuable computerised
data of the candidates.
Legislators cutting across party lines demanded that MPSC should
postpone the examinations by at least a fortnight to enable
aspirants complete relevant formalities like submitting fresh
data, getting hall tickets, allotment of exam centres and write
their exams.
The MPSC has directed all students to resubmit the data by
Thursday evening, after which it will issue hall tickets Friday.
Political activists of Nationalist Congress Party, Maharashtra
Navnirman Sena, Republican Party of India and NGO's demonstrated
outside the MPSC office in south Mumbai in support to the
candidates.
They also raised questions about the MPSC failure to maintain a
backup of the data.
The MPSC is to hold the exam on Sunday for two papers of 200 marks
each, with negative marking for wrong answers. The exams are on
the lines conducted by the UPSC.
