Ranchi, August 19: The Jharkhand government has announced the establishment of fast-track courts to handle cases related to irregularities in recruitment examinations. This decision comes as part of a special cabinet meeting focused on reforming the examination process. The state government will seek the High Court‘s assistance in this matter.
Given the widespread concerns regarding irregularities in a total of 45 recruitment exams, this action has been deemed necessary. Out of these, 22 exams have already been canceled, and the processes for six others have been postponed. Additionally, an investigation into 17 previously conducted exams will be based on findings from the CID and SIT inquiries. The government aims to implement institutional changes to ensure future examinations are more transparent, fair, and secure.
To monitor the examination process, internal vigilance cells will be established within the Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC) and the Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission (JSSC). These cells will oversee the examination procedures and associated operations of both commissions. Their primary goal is to identify and prevent potential irregularities at various stages of the examination process.
The monitoring system will be strengthened, covering everything from the selection of examination agencies to question paper preparation, printing, secure transportation, arrangement of examination centers, and result compilation. The government has also decided to form a high-level committee, led by senior IAS officer Amitabh Kaushal, to improve the overall examination system of the JPSC and JSSC.
This committee will include directors from esteemed state institutions and will conduct a comprehensive study of the current examination systems, processes, and arrangements. Following this, the committee will recommend necessary reforms in the examination process. They are expected to submit their report to the government within two months.
