Conceding to the long standing demand of civil service aspirants, the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) is mulling to put online the scanned copies of answer sheets of the candidates writing the prestigious examination.
The Commission, which conducts the annual examination to select candidates for IAS, IPS and IFS among others, is in discussion with the Ministry of Personnel over the matter.
‘The UPSC is considering to upload answersheets of candidates on its website. The matter is at the consultation stage,’ a Ministry official said. The Commission, at present, does not put online scanned copies of Optical Mark Recognition (OMR) answersheets of the candidates.
However, it has been providing the answersheets from the year 2012 onwards on specific demands, after the entire examination process gets over.
Official said the Commission will first start with uploading scanned answer sheets of civil services preliminary examination and then will go for uploading mains exam answer copies.
