New Exam Dates Changed - Postponed MPSC 2013

Bowing to the sentiments of members from both the Houses, the Maharashtra Government on Thursday decided to postpone the Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC) exams scheduled on April 7 to avoid hardships to candidates following a data loss due to a virus attack on March 31.

The announcement was made by Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan while making a statement on the floor of the House.

The new dates will be announced later by the MPSC, he said.

महाराष्ट्र राज्य लोकसेवा आयोगाची (एमपीएससी) पूर्वपरीक्षा पुढे ढकलण्यात आली आहे. नवीन तारीख एमपीएससी लवकरच जाहीर करेल, अशी घोषणा मुख्यमंत्री पृथ्वीराज चव्हाण यांनी आज विधिमंडळाच्या दोन्ही सभागृहांत केली.

एकाही उमेदवाराचे नुकसान होऊ न देता ही परीक्षा रविवार, ७ एप्रिल रोजी घेता येईल, अशी हमी एमपीएससीच्या वतीने देण्यात आली होती. तथापि, आज दोन्ही सभागृहांतील सर्वपक्षीय सदस्यांच्या भावना लक्षात घेऊन परीक्षा पुढे ढकलण्यात येत आहे.

ऐन परीक्षेच्या वेळी सर्व्हर क्रॅशचा प्रकार होणे चुकीचे आहे. या सगळ्य़ाचा परिणाम विद्यार्थ्यांच्या परीक्षेसाठी केलेल्या तयारीवर होणार आहे, याचा विचार आयोगाने केला पाहिजे. करिअरचा टर्निंग पॉइंट ठरणार्‍या या परीक्षेमुळेच लाखो विद्यार्थ्यांचे भवितव्य ठरणार आहे. त्यामुळे विद्यार्थ्यांनी झालेल्या प्रकाराचे टेन्शन घेऊ नये. परीक्षेसाठी मिळणारी संधी आणि अभ्यासाकडे लक्ष दिले पाहिजे.

Chavan said that he reviewed the preparations of the Commission on Thursday in the aftermaih of the server crash and all efforts were being taken to ensure that no candidate suffers.

"The Commission told me that they were prepared to conduct the exam on Sunday and also assured me that no candidate would be affected," Chavan said.

However, taking into consideration the views expressed by members of both the Mouses on the issue, the Government has decided to postpone the prelim examinations, he said. During the day. legislators cutting across parly lines in both the Houses had demanded that the exams be postponed.

Even Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar had sympathised with the MPSC candidates and said they would not be at much loss if exams are postponed by 5-10 days. In the Assembly. Vallabh Benke (NCP) had raised the issue after criticising the Government for staying adamant on holding the exams on schedule, based on bureaucrats inputs rather than people's representatives.

"MPSC exams are not being held for the last four years. What is the harm if these exams are postponed by a month to ensure that candidates appearing for the exams do not suffer due to their online data being corrupted." he asked.
