KARACHI:
The Federal Public Service Commission (FPSC) has been known as the insignia of transparency and competency in the realm of civil service for long. Even though there were some allegations regarding its snail pace recruitment process, its promising image prevails. But the recent general tests for FIA and IB, conducted towards the end of July, exposed the so-called transparency of the commission which uploaded many wrong answer keys — a textbook or a section of a textbook or website that provides the solutions to mathematical problems, grammar exercises, etc — for the tests. Where even a single mark decides the fate of a candidate in merit then three to four wrong answer keys will, indeed, deprive a deserving candidate of his due right. Ergo, it is high time the commission mended its way and ensured transparency and justice in the recruitment process by meticulously revising wrong answer keys.
