Haryana Public Service Commission (HPSC) on Monday declared the final result of the HCS (executive branch) and allied services examination -2011.
The complete result can be viewed on the commission's website www.hpsc.gov.in
A heart-warming aspect of the selection is that 27 candidates who figure in the final list of selected candidates made it to the mains examination only after the high court ordered revision of the result of the preliminary examination. These candidates had no chance of making to the mains examination after they were declared unsuccessful in the preliminary exam.
Petitions seeking revision of result of preliminary examination were filed following a series of exclusive news reports by Hindustan Times in 2012, highlighting the discrepancies in the question papers of the preliminary exam. Had HT not highlighted the discrepancies - which ultimately led to filing of petitions in the HC - these candidates would not have made it to the mains examination.
Of these 27 candidates who will get employed by the state government, three have been selected for HCS (executive branch), one in the Haryana Police Service (HPS) as deputy superintendent of police, 11 as excise and taxation officers, one each as tehsildar, assistant registrar cooperative societies and assistant excise and taxation officer, four as block development and panchayat officer (BDPO) and five as assistant employment officer (AEO).
