The District Administration of East Jaintia Hills, Khliehriat, convened a meeting today with the
Hon’ble MLA, Hon’ble MDCs, members of the District Selection Committee (DSC), school principals, legal representatives, and various other stakeholders to address key concerns related to DSC recruitment procedures. The meeting followed a letter submitted by Shri R. Siangshai and Advocate Shri K. Ksoo highlighting several issues, including the display of cut-off marks, interview ratios, and the need for transparent communication with candidates.
During the discussion, the committee resolved to enhance transparency in the recruitment
process by publishing the qualifying or cut-off marks after the declaration of final results. It was
reaffirmed that the ratio of candidates shortlisted for the personal interview round will remain at 1:2. To ensure timely and accurate communication, the DSC will directly notify candidates about subsequent stages of recruitment through email and SMS. In a further move to promote accountability,
both the Provisional Answer Keys and the final Answer Keys will be uploaded on the DSC website after the conduct of examinations.
Additionally, it was decided that DSC will explore ways to temporarily shut down internet services or using jammers, CCTVs during examinations to prevent malpractice. After the completion of
the recruitment process, the marks of all candidates will be made public and uploaded on the official district website.
The District Administration reiterated its commitment to ensuring fairness, transparency, and efficiency in all recruitment-related activities. Stakeholders expressed satisfaction with the outcome of the meeting and conveyed their appreciation to the Chairman for initiating such discussions. They also suggested that similar consultative meetings be held regularly to allow continuous feedback and improvement.
