BANGALORE: Top police officials have decided to take steps to overcome the problems caused to the candidates who appeared for the Police Sub- Inspectors’ (PSI) examination.
Director and Inspector General of Police, Ajay Kumar Singh, told Express that he would initiate steps to solve the problem within a day or two.
He would decide on the steps to be taken after a high-level meeting with top cops including Additional Director General of Police (police training and recruitment).
“We will take steps to ensure that the future of the candidates is not harmed, Singh said. On Wednesday Home Minister V S Acharya had said that the government would protect the interests of candidates.
An IPS officer said that the question papers were absurd in nature. He said that the person who had prepared the question paper could take out a passage from a published article.
"But, how can he take a passage which had appeared in a leading Kannada newspaper, that too on the day of the exam?" he asked.
The police higher-ups expressed their unhappiness over the question paper pattern.
They said that the question paper had concentrated more on general mental ability and moral education (psychology) and gave less importance to general knowledge, current affairs, science, geography, history, Indian Constitution and the national freedom movement.
Meanwhile, sources said that some of the candidates were preparing to go to the court to seek justice in the PSI exams.
