UPPSC for online verification of candidates’ records soon
Online verification will be done for Combined State/Upper Subordinate Services (Mains) Examination, commonly known as UP PCS (Mains).
Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission (UPPSC) will switch over to online verification of certificates submitted by the aspirants for its various recruitments soon. This will help in reducing the time taken for verification and timely completion of recruitments, said UPPSC officials.
Online verification will be done for Combined State/Upper Subordinate Services (Mains) Examination, commonly known as UP PCS (Mains).
For a year or during the transition period, the commission would work in hybrid mode, doing verifications offline and online simultaneously, they explained.
Officials also point out that at present, the verification of the documents was done on the basis of Main examination of PCS. In fact, due to the provisional selections, 2 to 5 % of the seats face chances of remaining vacant later because of lack of adequate documents and which is in fact a huge loss, both for the commission and the deserving candidates.
“However, if we go with the online mode of verification of the documents at the stage where the candidates have cleared for mains, that would save crucial time of the commission and this would help us speed up the process of declaring the results”, said a senior official of the Commission confirming the development.
With the new system in place, the candidates would also get freedom from coming to the Commission to get their documents verified. This will be followed in other recruitment too, where there is the provision of direct interviews.
At present candidates have to submit hard copy of online application along with documents at the Main examination stage or in those which have direct recruitment, to the Commission.
