The state government has relaxed examination centre norms for the Combined State / Senior Subordinate Service (Preliminary) Examination-2024, commonly known as (PCS Pre).
It has done away with the mandatory setting up of examination centres within 10 kilometers of bus station, railway station and government treasury.
The fresh government order, a copy of which is with HT, came after the Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission (UPPSC) accepted protesting students’ demand and decided to revert to the system of holding the PCS (prelim) exam in one day instead of two days.
However, the new order still means that only government-run and government-aided secondary schools will be made examination centres as no exemption has been given in this regard as compared to an earlier order issued on June 19.
The new GO issued on Thursday makes clear that it will be ensured that examination centres are made only in the institutions located on the main road. Principal secretary (appointment and personnel) M Devraj issued instructions in this regard on Thursday and sent the order to the chairmen of the recruitment commissions and boards of the state.
