Mumbai: The
Maharashtra Public Service Commission examinations will be
conducted all over the state May 18, it was announced here Monday.
The examinations, originally scheduled for April 7, were postponed
after a virus attack in the MPSC main server led to loss of data
of 260,000 candidates, who were to appear.
Following an uproar, the MPSC gave additional time to the
candidates to re-submit their data online for the crucial
examinations.
Till date, around 38,000 candidates have not yet submitted their
details and the MPSC has asked them to comply immediately.
The examinations hit a major snag following a virus attack on the
MPSC main server which led to the loss of complete data of nearly
260,000 candidates due to appear for two papers.
As a result, candidates did not get their hall tickets,
information on examination centres, seat numbers and other
details.
The issue was raised in the Maharashtra legislature where all
opposition parties demanded rescheduling of the examinations in
view of the technical problems.
For many candidates it was a final do-or-die attempt as they would
be rendered age-barred next year if they did not write the
examination this year.
Most parties also castigated the MPSC for failure to maintain
backup of the data on such a crucial public examination which has
two papers of 200 marks each with negative marking for wrong
answers. The exam is on the lines of those conducted by the Union
Public Service Commission.
