Newmai News Network

Shillong, Aug 2: The Meghalaya Public Service Commission (MPSC) has decided not to display the marks of the MCS Preliminary Examination following objection from the candidates.

A public notice issued by the secretary of the Commission said, “Hence, the marks will not be displayed in public domain. However, the Commission is enabling viewing of their own marks through an OTP based system.”

The decision also came a day after the Khasi Students’ Union (KSU) had staged a sit-in-demonstration against alleged irregularities in the conduct of the MCS preliminary examination, MPS personal interview and appointment of statistical officers in the AH & Veterinary department.

The Union had demanded the MPSC to immediately publish the marks of all candidates appearing for the MCS examination.

The Commission however said, “This is for general information of all candidates that proposal for Public Disclosure of Marks for the MCS Preliminary Examination has been strongly objected by aggrieved candidates due to potential infringement of their right to privacy which is their fundamental right guaranteed under Article 21 of the Constitution of India.”
