Conduct MPSC exams offline only; Satej Patil makes a forceful demand in the Legislative Council
Mumbai: Congress MLA Satej Patil strongly opposed the government's decision to conduct Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC) recruitment exams via the online (CBT) mode in the Legislative Council. He stated unequivocally that the CBT format is proving to be "Computer-Based Torture" for students. Consequently, he demanded in the House that all MPSC exams be conducted offline and that the decision to outsource exams to private companies be immediately revoked.
While participating in the discussion on the opposition's 'Motion 260', Satej Patil remarked that online exams are causing injustice to students. He asserted that the MPSC was established to conduct examinations, not to outsource them. Previous exams conducted through TCS and IBPS had witnessed issues such as inadequate facilities at centers, technical glitches, and instances of malpractice. Although students had demanded that the MPSC itself conduct the exams, the government's decision to shift all exams to an online format has sparked widespread discontent among them.
Currently, approximately 2.97 lakh government posts in the state are vacant, and lakhs of students are awaiting recruitment. Satej Patil warned the government that, under these circumstances, the examination method should not jeopardize the students' futures.
He also raised another significant demand: the implementation of a 'one-time fee' system for all government and semi-government recruitment exams in the state. He pointed out that the requirement to pay separate fees for each exam, along with travel and accommodation costs, imposes an undue financial burden on students.
Satej Patil's key demands:
Conduct MPSC exams entirely in offline mode
Revoke the decision to outsource exams to private companies
Implement a 'one-time fee' system for all recruitment exams
