TIL CreativesRepresentative Image Guwahati: Error disrupted the Manipur Civil Services (Mains) Examination 2022 on Saturday.Candidates at both the Imphal and Guwahati examination centres were mistakenly issued the question paper for General Studies (GS) Paper-IV during the morning session, which was meant for Paper-III.Terming the mix-up a “technical issue”, the Manipur Public Service Commission (MPSC) promptly cancelled both GS Paper-III and Paper-IV.In a notification issued later in the day, the Commission said that fresh dates for the cancelled exams had been set for November 22.As per the revised schedule, Paper-IV (General Studies-III) will be held from 9 am to 12 noon, followed by Paper-V (General Studies-IV) from 1:30 pm to 4:30 pm.Live Events“The examination venues remain the same, and the earlier e-Admit Cards shall also remain valid for the rescheduled papers,” the Commission’s stated. The Commission said it originated at the secured printing press."As it was discovered while opening the sealed cover just before the start of the examination that there was a mismatch between heading of the Question Paper for Paper IV (General Studies- III) with the content inside due to an error of the Secured Printing Press," a statement from Kh Lalmani Singh, Controller of Examination, MPSC, read.The blunder has sparked anger among aspirants, who have accused the MPSC of negligence and lack of coordination.The examination, conducted simultaneously at the Office of the Assam Public Service Commission (APSC) in Guwahati and the Imphal Centre, saw 199 candidates appear from the Guwahati venue alone.Add as a Reliable and Trusted News Source Add Now!
