LUCKNOW: The nine-member high-power committee for re-evaluating the results of the Uttar Pradesh Combined Pre-Medical Test (UPCPMT), 2007, has detected huge errors in the finalisation of the successful candidates. The committee submitted its report to the State Government on Jan 20.
Nearly 85,000 candidates had written the examination conducted by the Vir Bahadur Singh Purvanchal University at Jaunpur.
Fresh results of the written test will be declared on June 21 after being vetted by the expert panel which visited Purvanchal University for conducting the probe.
The results of the exams had been announced on June 14 but were declared null and void by Chief Minister Mayawati on June 15 following violence and arson in different cities by candidates who alleged large-scale bungling in the finalisation of the results.
A student of Lucknow reportedly committed suicide after he failed to appear in the list of successful candidates.
Addressing a press conference, Cabinet Secretary Shashank Shekhar Singh ruled out the possibility of a scam in UPCPMT-2007 but admitted that there were serious errors in the finalisation of the results. He said prima facie the faulty results were not intentional, but added that discrepancies had crept in. Mr. Singh denied that efforts were made to shield the authorities of Purvanchal University.
Stating that the guilty would not be spared, Mr. Singh said action would be taken after formally going through the voluminous report.
The Cabinet Secretary said that to ensure complete transparency the correct answers would be notified in newspapers after the fresh declaration of the results on Thursday. On the directives of the Chief Minister, the examinees have been given the option of scrutiny of their papers within eight days of the declaration of results.
Mr. Singh said the Chief Minister had issued strict guidelines to ensure that the CPMT is not bedevilled by controversy in future. Examination procedures would be laid down and nobody would be allowed to deviate, he pointed out.
Around 14,000 answer sheets were scanned by the probe panel and not a single anomaly was detected in them.
However, glaring errors surfaced in the sequencing and evaluation of answers of the four sets of question papers (the answers are given in objective).
