Reforming SPSC

Published December 19, 2018

THE Sindh Provincial Service Commission (SPSC) plays a decisive role in selecting bureaucrats to cushion the government policies, implement those for the betterment and development of the province. The social media group is however is echoing the inability of the institution concerned to conduct error-free tests.

Recently, a candidate lamented that the SPSC had failed to conduct error-free tests. Recently, a screening test was conducted for Combined Competitive Examinations (CCE)-2019. There were too many mistakes in the question paper. Right options were missing from the multiple choice questions, claimed the candidates. Last time, a similar thing did happen in the CCE-2018 screening test, but the SPSC rectified the answer keys and allotted grace marks to affected candidates.

This prominent institution must get rid of this problem. Therefore, the Sindh government should take effective measures to cope with such issues and bring about reforms in such institutions for the betterment of the province.
