GPSC answer key gets Gujarat’s establishment year wrong, raises questions

The provisional answer key - PAK – of the Assistant Manager, Class-3 (GSCSCL) exam has created a stir in Gujarat after the answer key itself gets the answer wrong. In a blunder, the answer key has a wrong year of the establishment of Gujarat.

Notably, the PAK to the exam – conducted on Sunday – also shows five more answers wrong, agitating the candidates even further.

This comes after the Gujarat Public Service Commission (GPSC) announced the fees for objection applications after results of ₹100.

The candidates now ponder on how such mistakes would lead to large number of objections, for which they will have to pay ₹100 to the commission.

On the other hand, the so-called GPSC subject experts don’t even know when Gujarat was established.

The candidates questioned if the fees are charged to prevent them from reevaluating their answers and hiding such mistakes of the commission.

According to the candidates, if the government feels that objection applications are coming in large numbers, then the government should implement proper guidelines and decide the reference books to avoid confusion with the answers.

Apart from the year of Gujarat’s establishment, the answer key also notes wrong answers for good governance day, day of passing Lokpal Bill, the category of Human Rights Commission, and the birth year of Rajagopalachari.
