These issues, he argued, are jeopardising the future of aspiring candidates in the state.In his letter, the CLP leader highlighted that many candidates have been assigned centres far from their residences, leading to travel difficulties. Due to lack of proper arrangements and transportation, many candidates, despite filling out the forms, are unable to take the exams, resulting in missed opportunities for government jobs. He urged GPSC to allocate exam centres closer to candidates' hometowns.He also alleged that candidates have raised concerns about the clarity and quality of questions. Some questions are ambiguous, and there are instances where GPSC’s so-called subject experts are not even aware of foundational facts, such as the date of Gujarat’s establishment. Candidates demand that such experts be removed from the recruitment process, and the commission should eliminate the fees collected to cover up these errors.Regarding the delayed results, Chavda wrote that the delay in the announcement of results is causing frustration and dissatisfaction among candidates. For instance, more than 4.5 months have passed since the main exam of the Deputy Section Officer was conducted, but the results are yet to be declared. Candidates are requesting that the results for advertisements 20/22-23, 47/23-24, and 45/2023-24 be announced promptly.He also urged for relaxation in age criteria, comparing Gujarat's policies to those of other states. For example, in neighbouring Rajasthan, there is a provision to increase the age limit by three years if no announcement is made for three years. Candidates believe Gujarat should adopt a similar policy.<div style="text-align: left;"> </div>
