UPSC candidates to stage protest

NEW DELHI: Stating that the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) has not fulfilled its promise of putting up the model answer-sheets of the Civil Services (Preliminary) Examination, 2006, on its website, some candidates have decided to stage a protest outside the Commission's office here on Monday.

This past week, the aggrieved candidates had demanded through a Right to Information application that the UPSC come out with model answers of all the subjects in the Preliminary Examinations. Also, they had also asked the Commission to furnish the cut-off marks for each subject and category as well as the scores of the candidates who were not selected.

The candidates had claimed that on Monday a senior official of the UPSC had promised to them that model answer-sheets would be put up on the Commission's website by Friday.
