Postpone APSC exams: Aspirants
Guwahati: Aspirants preparing for the Assam Public Service Commission (APSC) Combined Competitive Examination (CCE) preliminary test scheduled for June 8 have urged authorities to postpone the examination in view of the devastating floods that have disrupted their preparation and displaced many candidates. The plea for postponement comes after incessant rainfall across Assam over the past week caused widespread flooding, washing away study materials and forcing numerous aspirants to seek refuge in relief camps. "The APSC examination is a critical opportunity for thousands of aspirants seeking public service positions. Conducting the exam under these adverse conditions would be unjust and discriminatory, particularly to candidates from marginalised and flood-hit regions. A postponement is essential to ensure a level playing field," said Nabadeep Borgohain, general secretary, Satro Mukti Sangram Samiti. Asom Chatro Parishad (ACP) president, Trinayan Barua expressed that the current government has been conducting various recruitment exams in a transparent way, so we request the government, along with APSC, to look into aspirants' concerns hailing from flood-affected areas. We stand in solidarity with the aspirants. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Brass Idols - Handmade Brass Statues for Home & Gifting Luxeartisanship Buy Now Undo The flood has particularly affected a total of 19 districts, including Hailakandi, Cachar, Sribhumi, Dibrugarh, Kamrup, Morigaon, Golaghat, Biswanath, Hojai, Nagaon, Dhemaji, Darrang, Sonitpur, Sivasagar, Goalpara, Jorhat, Lakhimpur, Tinsukia and Kamrup (Metro), where several examination centres are located.

CCE application form
This concerns a critical issue faced by candidates participating in the Combined Competitive Examination (CCE) 2023, conducted by the SPSC. The inability to rectify errors in the online application form, particularly concerning the selection of optional subjects, has caused significant distress to numerous aspirants, including myself. During the online application process, I inadvertently selected an incorrect optional subject. Upon realising the mistake, I immediately sought guidance from SPSC officials, only to be informed that no amendments could be made at that stage and that I would first need to clear the screening test. Despite this setback, I persevered in my preparation and successfully passed the screening test. However, despite multiple visits to the SPSC office to request a correction to my optional subject, my appeals were repeatedly denied. This issue is further compounded by the fact that other esteemed institutions, such as the FPSC, allow candidates to modify their application details post-submission. This situation is particularly distressing as this examination represents my final opportunity to appear for the CCE, and my future prospects are contingent upon its outcome. While I fully understand the importance of adhering to established rules and procedures to ensure transparency and fairness, there should also be a mechanism to address genuine errors made during the application process. Denying candidates the opportunity to correct such mistakes not only undermines their hard work but also raises concerns about the fairness of the system. The SPSC should take immediate and compassionate action to resolve this issue. A simple correction to the optional subject could have a profound and positive impact on the lives of countless candidates who have dedicated years to their preparation. I trust that the relevant authorities will take steps to ensure a more equitable and candidate-friendly process in the future. Farhan Ali Sarki Thul, Jacobabad
