RPSC — Assistant Engineer Examination.

Address:

Jaipur, Rajasthan

RPSC (Rajasthan Public Service Commission) has conducted exam for the recruitment of Assistant Engineer (CIVIL) as per Advertisement Number Advt. No. 4/Exam/ Assistant Engineer/[protected] dated 7th March 2013. The total number of Vacancies given in Advertisement for CIVIL ENGINEERING BRANCH are 256 (251+5) and as per RPSC recruitment rules the total no. of candidates (maximum), those eligible for Interview are 768 (after clearing Prelims and Mains Examination) that is 3 times the total No. of vacancies (3*256=3x(251+5)=753+15=768). The result declared by RPSC on 24th December 2014 and the total no. of students that cleared the mains exam and eligible to give Interviews are 587 (572+15) which is far less than 768 (required candidates 3 times the total No. of vacancies). The main reason for less no. of candidates (587) those cleared the mains examination against required (768) is that unavailability of Women’s, Widows, OBC/SC/ STs Candidates, due to min Qualifying marks required in Hindi Paper is 35% (not so essential for the post of Assistant Engineer as compared to other subjects / paper). NOTE: The Minimum Qualifying Marks Criterion to clear Mains Examination is SAME FOR ALL irrespective of Categories. As per Advertisement Advt. No. 4/Exam/ Assistant Engineer/[protected] dated 7th March 2013. Main examination: - Compulsory Subject Maximum Marks Min. Marks (for Interview) Paper – I Hindi 100 35% Paper – II Social aspects of Engineering 100 35% Optional Subjects Maximum Marks Paper – III CIVIL ENGINEERING (CONVENTIONAL) 200 40% Paper – IV CIVIL ENGINEERING (CONVENTIONAL) 200 40% “Candidates who obtain such minimum qualifying marks in the written test of the Main examination as may be fixed by the Commission in their discretion shall be summoned by them for interview. Provided that no candidate who fails to obtain a minimum of 35% marks in each of the two compulsory papers and a minimum of 40% marks in the aggregate shall be called by the Commission for interview which carries 72 marks”. It is requested to you to direct the RPSC to relax the minimum qualifying marks criterion by at least 5-10% for Women’s /Widows/ OBC/SC/STs (belongs to RAJASTHAN) as compare to the GENERAL Category, so that the Commission gets the minimum no. of Candidates required to be appeared in Interview i.e. Three Times the Number of Vacancies 3x256=768 (as per the vacancies and recruitment rules). It’s a humble request to allow those students for Interview who secured Min. Qualifying Marks in Civil Engineering Paper and Social Aspect of Engineering (Main Subjects/ Knowledge required for post of Assistant Engineer) but not in Hindi. The same thing happened in year 2008 for Assistant Engineer Examination, the total number of candidate that appeared in Interview (cleared Mains Examination) was less than 3 times the total vacancies and going to repeat in current year/vacancies due to level of question paper of Hindi subject.
