Erroneous result of UPPSC prelims 2015. Cheating with OBC candidates !

edited June 2015 in Miscellaneous
The cutoffs in UPPSC prelims is as below :

Now the BIG question is how can the cutoff of General and OBC be equal viz. 279 ? There seems something fishy !

Let me explain the method of filling of seats :
Let the there be total 100 seats.
So the seats will be 27 reserved for OBC , 23 for SC/ST, 50 for general students.

Let the cutoff for general be 279. Then these will include all the general candidates (including girls = 1/3) + OBC candidates scoring above 279(including girls= 1/3) + SC/ST candidates scoring above 279(including girls=1/3). So 50 seats are filled now.

Now the rest 27 seats of OBC and 23 seats of SC/ST will be filled by those OBC and SC/ST candidates (boys and 1/3 girls) who could not score 279 or above.
NOTE : the OBC and SC/ST candidates who have scored 279 or above it will not be counted in 27 and 23 seats.

File can be downloaded from here : Click me. Download the file and go to Pg. no. 2. It is a file uploaded on NCBC website.

Then how is it possible that the cutoff of General and OBC be equal viz. 279 ? There can be only two possible explanations :
1. All the OBC candidates who are filled in that 27% reservation scored 279 marks (which is unlikely) . If for a moment it is believed that all the 27% reservation students scored 279 then why were they not counted in the general candidates ? The OBC cutoff should have been 278.9 or anything below the general cutoff , but in no case equal to general cutoff.
2. UPPSC forgot about the above rule that those who have scored above 279 should not be counted in 27% OBC seats. They seem to have counted them too which is wrong.

If UPPSC corrects its mistake many of the OBC candidates will be eligible to write mains this time itself. I don't know how to raise this issue hence I am posting it here.

I myself is a general candidate but this is a matter of following rules and ethics. We cannot let such injustice happen , all the more when we ourselves are UPSC aspirants.

  • Obc quota bhi khatam krdo
    =))
  • @bodo_pandit : If OBCs have become equal to or better than general candidates,even then it is not possible to have same cutoff for both General and OBC !! Because then the smarter ones should not be counted in the 27%.

    @sankalp_sharma15 : OBC quota khatam karna ya na karna is not the issue here. The issue is about ethics and following the rules. Since the quota is there then why are the rules being flouted ?
  • @bodo_pandit : Correct ! UPPSC needs to act in a more transparent manner !
    See , now you get my point , it is all about ethics and following the rules. UPPSC is doing something fishy ! It needs to be rectified .
  • UPPSC jitne bhi exams kara raha hai usmein general ki 70% seats to waise hi OBC se bhari ja rahi hain. Aur kya chahte ho bhai ?
  • @freeze : UPPSC aisa anyay na kar paaye , yahi chahta hun . Akhir UPPSC transparency se kyon nahi kaam kar sakta ? The exam process should be fair and rules should be followed.
  • @bodo_pandit : Exactly what you have explained has been written by me in point no 2. This is wrong . Aisa nahi hona chahiye . Agar kisi OBC candidate ke marks 279 ya ussey jyada aagaye hain to usko OBC ke 27% mein count nahi kiya jayega . ye baat neeche di gayi NCBC report mein bhi kahi gayi hai:

    Either they should change the rule or follow it ! This is my point.
    Chahe buddhe exam de ya jawan isse kya fark padta hai yaar ? Baat ko samjho fir comment karo. I hope I have made you understand.
  • @Mandark : What should I ask in RTI ?
    Also I tried filing online RTI but on the website : https://rtionline.gov.in there is no option to select UPPSC. Please help.
  • just out of curiosity!... would the one getting job by scoring more than general candidate and thus getting a general seat be eligible for obc reservation with respect to promotions later on in carrer.
  • @Kira : there are no reservations for OBC candidates (cremy layer or non-creamy layer or scoring more than general candidates or below general candidates) in matters of promotion. Only SC/ST candidates have reservation in promotions.
  • Ok.
    thanks for info.
