ITANAGAR: A group of 12 dissatisfied candidates from the Arunachal Pradesh Public Service Commission Combined Competitive Examination (APPSCCE)-2024 has alleged irregularities in the recently announced preliminary exam results, raising concerns about the examination process.
In a signed complaint addressed to the APPSC chairman and secretary, the candidates pointed out that the commission's advertisement mentioned, "The number of candidates to be admitted to the mains examination will be about 12 times the number of advertised posts or as decided by the commission."
Meanwhile, the Naharlagun police registered two separate cases related to alleged irregularities during the preliminary Arunachal Pradesh Public Service Combined Competitive Examination, which was conducted on December 15, 2024.
In the first incident, a mobile phone was discovered in the possession of a candidate with disabilities (PwD), identified as Mudang Yabyang, at the Kendriya Vidyalaya examination centre in C-Sector, Naharlagun. The centre superintendent reported the matter to the police, following which the mobile phone was seized as evidence.
According to Naharlagun SP Mihin Gambo, the candidate's statement was recorded while Yabyang was sent away with a direction for further cooperation in the investigation.
Addressing the issue, Yabyang explained that the incident occurred unintentionally. "I accidentally carried my phone into the exam hall in a hurry, but I voluntarily submitted it to the invigilator before the exam began. I was assured this would not be a major issue as I had not used the phone to cheat," Yabyang told the media.
