Meeting with the APPSC chairman and members, the governor underscored that there must be correct supervision of the examination processes at every step. “Every officer should be held accountable fully for his role in conduct of the examination,” he said.
The governor also shared his experiences and ideas with the commission members for question paper setting, examination centre arrangement and strong room operation, answer sheet, result compilation and viva voce. He advised the commission on ensuring videography in the examination and interview centres and surveillance by anti-copying flying squads.
The governor suggested to the commission members to plan centralized paper setting and evaluation processes.
Taking part in the discussion, the chief minister said that there is a shortage of administrative and police officers in entry grade, which is affecting the governance.
