UPPSC issued a statement

At the same time, now Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission (UPPSC) has issued its statement on the demand of the students regarding the RO / ARO examination. 

• In order to protect the sanctity of the Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission (UPPSC) examinations and the future of the students, the examinations are being conducted only at those centres where there is no possibility of any kind of irregularities.
• The commission said that in the past, many types of irregularities have come to light in far-flung examination centres, which has created uncertainty in the future of deserving students. To eliminate this and to conduct the entire examination based on merit, these centres have been removed.
• UPSC said that the intention of the government and the commission is to protect student interests and ensure selection on the basis of merit.
• The selection process is completely transparent and has been determined keeping in mind the interests of the students. The same process is followed by other prestigious commissions and institutions in the country.
• Keeping in view the importance of ensuring the purity of the examination, the Commission, at the request of the candidates, decided to hold the examination in two shifts.
• The Commission said that arrangements have been made to ensure that the candidates do not have to go far to take the examination.
• The commission said that anarchic elements, illegal coaching institutes and copying mafia are trying to mislead the competitive students by giving them misleading information. Students should be cautious about such information.
• The Commission welcomes suggestions from candidates in the context of normalization. Anyone who has any suggestions for improvement or better arrangements in this regard can give them so that everything can be placed before a committee of eminent experts. Along with this, the Commission said that whatever is necessary in the interest of the candidates will be followed.
