Imphal, August 14:
The Manipur Public Service Commission is ready to re- conduct the controversial Manipur Civil Services Combined Competitive (Main) Examination of 2016 afresh tentatively in October/November, 2020. The latest move of the MPSC to conduct fresh examination is after a ruling of the Supreme Court of India passed in SLP(C) Diary No,(S)-39519/2019 and an order of the High Court of Manipur passed in W.A No. 19 of 2017.
An official notification by MPSC notifies all candidates who had qualified in MCSCCE 2016 (Prelims) and those willing to appear in the new exam can apply to MPSC to the said MCSCC Main Examination. Other details about the exam can be had from MPSC official website www.mpscmanipur.gov.in
It may be mention that the Manipur High Court in a landmark verdict quashed the result of the examination conducted by MPSC and the same order was upheld by a bench of Justices M Shantanagoudar and Sanjiv Khanna and directed to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to conduct a time-bound investigation into the conduct of the exam. Many candidates who appeared in the exam had moved the High Court alleging of irregularities, illegalities and anomalies in the conduct of the examination. The contending candidates alleged that guidelines were not maintained for checking and evaluating the answer scripts.
