BHUBANESWAR: After a delay of two years, the Orissa Public Service Commission has finally notified the conduct of OCS Mains Examination from May 27 but scheduling of dates has not gone down well with the aspirants.
It would would not only deprive many aspirants who have passed the OCS prelims in 2006 from appearing for the Mains but also prohibit them from performing to their potential.
Reasons: Only a week�s gap between UPSC prelims and OPSC mains examinations, dates coinciding with that of post-grduate examinations in several State and Central universities and conduct of examinations under severe heatwave conditions.
Taking a lead in raising the issue with the highest authorities, the Delhi Oriya Students Association has submitted a memorandum to Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik and Chief Secretary Ajit Tripathy seeking their intervention for rescheduling of the Mains examinations.
Association convenor Tejeswar Parida stated that most of the Oriya students, who would be writing their Mains,would also be appearing for UPSC prelims. For many, it is also their last mandatory UPSC chance.
Given the differential patterns and vast syllabus, the minimum gap required betwen the two was at least a month or two. The gap of only one week would have aspirants in two minds and affect their performance.
Besides, the PG examinations in universities of Utkal, Sambalpur, Berhampur, DU and JNU are scheduled till May second week, leaving little time for preparations for OCS Mains, Parida said.
