ITANAGAR, Sept 25: This year the number of aspiring candidates for the forthcoming Arunachal Pradesh Public Services Combined Competitive Examinations (APPSCCE) has risen in comparison to previous years. It is expected to go up to 12,000 for the declared 52 posts. As per information available, as many as 9,550 copies of forms have been sold out till date. However, aspiring candidates are unhappy with the Public Service Commission for failing to provide the ‘promised’ question bank despite charging Rs 500 (APST) and Rs 600 (general) towards it, including forms.
Despite repeated request by the candidates for question banks, the Commission has not provided the same to them. “I have been coming here for the last three weeks to collect my copy of question bank,” said an aspirant.
When asked, the Secretary of the Commission blamed it on the publisher’s inability to print the required number of copies. Meanwhile, the APPSC went on a damage-control exercise from today by charging only for the forms; thus, reducing the price to Rs 200. However, the Commission is in the process of distributing question banks to those who have already paid Rs 500. With October 6 being the deadline for submission of filled-in forms, the Commission is yet to commit itself to any deadline to provide question banks to the deprived aspirants. THE SENTINEL
