[Resolved]  SSC — SSC Data Entry Operator Exam 2009

I appeared for the Staff Selection Commission (SSC) Data Entry Operator Examination 2009 on 2nd August, 2009 . My venue was ACHARYA JAGADISH CHANDRA BOSE COLLEGE, 1/1 B, AJC BOSE ROAD, KOLKATA 700020.
This is to share a petrifying experience that I had at the above mentioned venue, for the said examination. I have appeared for a number of other competitive examinations, but this is my first experience of such malpractices being carried on without much intervention.
Few things I would like to highlight upon:
1. Although a fixed number of students (approx. 40) were allotted in each room but no seating arrangements were planned according to the roll nos. leading to a complete chaotic situation. Some took unfair advantage of the fact and friends sharing the same room took adjacent seats leading to group discussions .
Competitive examinations are known to be conducted particularly well in West Bengal. I shudder to imagine if such was the case in WB then what would have happened in Bihar and UP where unfair practice remains a norm.
2. The invigilating system was not at par. An external invigilator visited the room for a few seconds. Although everything seemed to be alright from an examiners point of view but one could find a number of loopholes to revert to unfair means if seen from the candidates perspective (I could see some students doing so, maybe they had appeared for SSC exams before and were familiar with the rules ) .
P.S.-I don’t intend to question the authority or to demean the reputation of the esteemed organization by any means. However, this is to bring forth the actual scenario at the examination hall, which needs to be corrected in all fairness. This would ensure motivation among the candidates who have put in a real effort to qualify for the test.
