IIT Job Vacancy Exam Major Loophole - No Transparency

Dear Sir/Madam,

Without much ado i would like to bring to your notice about certain serious discrepancies in IIT job vacancy exam at Palakkad.

This is about Computer Proficiency Exam conducted for Junior Technical Superintendent (CE) and Junior Superintendent on 9 July 2018.

There is no specific hall ticket seating arrangement.

Any candidate can sit at any system in Lab and complete their exams and come out.

There is no proof on which system which candidate sat. As a student i cannot prove which system i sat.

They just ask us to type the computer number name in the file we work itself.

Which means after exam, anyone in the IIT having access to these can just change the name of the files and change system number in the file.

Also would like to bring to your notice there were quite a noticeable students including who could not complete the test, as the systems were not comfortable

 

I mean if am lying, i suggest you just pull up the details of all the candidates shortlisted for the second round of test held on 9-July-2018 and ask them.

Not one or two, Many of them will tell the same complaint.

I know you can say why dint you question during exam.

Third round was written test, even if i did raise the point, they can easily target me in third round. Same with others why they kept quiet.

Its clear, whole system is favoured for malpractice and tough to raise complaints.

Remember IIT is autonomous, they can choose who they want, candidate wont know.

They could just restigate me from further exam.

We all know how our people are, most of the times we just to have to keep quiet or shout in anger or I have to take risk and raise my voice like this.

I know i am at risk here as well but at least the loopholes i pointed are genuine.

My question why is it made impossible to raise a grievance in the first place.

Especially common man like me with lots of already existing daily troubles, how will we get the courage to fight against such meticulous schemes and elaborate plans.

Not to forget fear of backlash.

As i said still not convinced, just ask all the students selected for second round, i guarantee you will find students who will tell they could not do ppt, because the software was manipulated.

Anyway just compare my profile to all the people applicants that itself will the whole story.

I am not being over confident but it surely will tell the story.

Exactly see how hard it is just to prove a small point. It is hard to believe what i say.

It is really disheartening, sometimes i feel why should i even work in this country.

For writer like me, all i need is just clear english IELTS exam and move to Canada etc easily.

Anyway let my claims be false but the loopholes are there:

If job vacancy is at IIT palakkad and if exam is also at IIT Palakkad, what is the guarantee existing staff will not engage in Malpractice.

Exams should be conducted by one central body. In short the exams should be in a system like Banking exams like SBI Probationary exams. No chance for malpractice. Everything should be computerized. 

Any vacancies should be sent to one central interview test board.

This board will create test, students should go to other state to avoid malpractice by existing staff.

Which ever institute has vacancy send the requirement to central exam body, the exams should be done in other state and give test.

All should be computerized. Unique login, password, seating arrangement should be done to every candidate.

In short it can be outsourced. Just  see how MeritTrac company conducts test for private companies. You can also keep exam in other states.

Everything from login to test to results is done by this third party. There is no chance for manipulating the computers.

I dont know what else to say, it really doesnt make sense.

It is really sad state of affairs. It was a post which required basic computer knowledge and good english.

Today, even school kids are adept at these, except for may be the aptitude test. Young kids might find aptitude tough.

It is really more silly, someone who clears aptitude test but failed in basic computer, but the truth he was made to fail in computer proficiency test.

I am not worried about this job but today a genuine candidate lost an opportunity not because he failed but was made to fail.

If we cant correct this basic level of corruption, how do you except things to change at the larger level.

I understand in a democracy even citizens have to stand up.

I have done that by bringing this issue to your notice.

You just to question the staff and find out the truth, you will find it.

But you have be really seeking to get the true information out.

Whatever, at least please rectify the loopholes.

Let my case be a lost one. I dont want to leave such a environment to my next generation, where we have to fight to just get a job.

Animals are far better, hardly most animals stock food but still everyday most animals find food.

God's grace, For me this is just a job, for someone else it could have been everything.

That too IIT was the last place i expected these things. One of the premier institutions.

The points in this mail sound unusual but this what it is. Please ignore the way it is written, what is written surely makes a lot of sense.

Hope as a citizen i have done some justice and i hope i need not fear my civil servant, with all due respect, isnt it..what i voted for..to be served.

Unfortunately today in the intention to polish and present things, the main point of the issue is left out.

The least that can be done is the exam centre should have no influence from the IIT.

Even written test should be valuated by the independent exam centre.

Till the candidates reach the final interview stage, IIT should not know about the details of candidates. They can choose candidates from Interview.

Only reason i have written it like this, i believe that whoever is reading this is adept at understanding the concerns in the content than the way it is written.

Atleast, there should be one Person independent from IIT to oversee entire exam and be available in the exam hall in case candidates have issues.

This should be announced to all candidates in the exam hall that they can raise a query to the independent auditor.

Jai Hind.
